Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle recently shared her excitement over her boyfriend's first win of the 2024 season at the United Cup.
Fritz defeated Team Great Britain’s Cameron Norrie, 7-6(5), 6-4, to help defending champions USA beat the English team 2-1 in Perth on Sunday.
Riddle, an influencer and content creator, has been dating Fritz since mid-2020. She has been traveling with him on the ATP tour ever since and has gained popularity for her social media posts about life on the tennis tour.
Riddle shared her excitement over Fritz’s win on her Instagram story on December 31.
"First win of the season 💗," Morgan wrote.
The picture was taken during Fritz’s second singles match of the United Cup -- a mixed-gender team event that features 18 countries competing in two cities, Perth and Sydney. Fritz is representing the defending champions USA, along with Jessica Pegula, Denis Kudla, Alycia Parks, Rajeev Ram, and Desirae Krawczyk.
The win gave the USA a 1-1 tie with Great Britain after Pegula had lost to Katie Boulter in three sets in the first singles match. Fritz and Pegula then teamed up to beat Boulter and Neal Skupski in a mixed doubles match, 6-4, 3-6, 10-8, to clinch the tie for the USA.
