Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle showers love on a picture of his from Rome

Taylor Fritz's girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, complimented the American after he posted a picture on social media.

Fritz recently posted a picture of himself enjoying coffee and a croissant at an eatery in Rome, Italy, while competing in the 2023 Italian Open. "Ciao Bella," Fritz captioned the post.

Reacting to the picture, Riddle posted a positive comment on her partner's appearance.

"Cutie patootie," she wrote.

Taylor Fritz suffered an early exit at the 2023 Italian Open. The 25-year-old American lost to World No. 101 Yannick Hanfmann in the second round 6-4, 6-1. This was arguably Fritz's worst loss of the year on clay.

Riddle and Fritz started dating in 2020, after meeting through mutual friends. They have been traveling the world together ever since for Fritz's tennis tournaments.

Riddle, a social media influencer, often shares content related to fashion, travel, and beauty. She also frequently posts about the world of competitive tennis, and once proclaimed that she was on a mission “to make tennis cool again.”

Fritz has often praised Riddle for supporting him and pushing him to play at the top level. He thanked Riddle in a recent interview where he looked back at Netflix's tennis docuseries, Break Point, which followed several women's and men's players on the tour.

"She just pushes me a lot to stay disciplined. She holds me accountable because she actually cares about my success. I think that a really important thing is to have someone that just wants the best for you and shares the same goals," Fritz said about Riddle.

Taylor Fritz credits Morgan Riddle for generating "a lot of hype for tennis"

Taylor Fritz has been open about his desire to make tennis more popular in America, and has credited his partner Morgan Riddle for helping him pursue and realize his goal. The 25-year-old applauded Riddle for creating content related to tennis and helping popularize the sport among American audiences.

"She's always known that that's been one of my goals, and she's kind of done a really good job of finding this niche of content and, I guess, trying to popularize tennis," Fritz said.

The five-time title winner on the ATP tour further remarked that Riddle's social media content generates "hype" that helps attract sports fans who otherwise don't regularly follow tennis.

"It's been really great. Impressive as well with what she's been able to do and generate a lot of hype for tennis. You know, reach people that, I guess, tennis normally wouldn't reach," he continued.
