"I'd normally be pretty upset about it" - Taylor Fritz hilariously divulges why he didn't mind girlfriend Morgan Riddle's recent absence in stands

Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend Morgan Riddle was conspicuous by her absence during his recent tournament appearances in Atlanta and Washington, D. C. The American tennis star has now hilariously told his partner why he didn’t mind her not being in the stands.

Morgan Riddle, a social media influencer, was last seen with Taylor Fritz at the Wimbledon Championships. The 2022 quarterfinalist suffered a shock second-round defeat to Mikael Ymer at the grasscourt Major this time around.

The couple, however, extended their stay as Riddle fulfilled her duties in a new role as an official fashion presenter at SW19.

Following Wimbledon, Fritz commenced his North American hardcourt campaign at the Atlanta Open, where he clinched his sixth career title and second this year. The World No. 9 followed that with a semifinal appearance at the recently concluded Citi Open in Washington, D. C.

Taylor Fritz is currently in Toronto, gearing up for his opening match at the 2023 Canadian Open. The American has reunited with his girlfriend of three years after spending a few weeks apart.

During a recent fan interaction on social media, Morgan Riddle was asked how the top-ranked American felt about her not being in the stands at the previous two events.

Fritz, who was in the vicinity, responded by saying that he ideally does not like being separated from the 26-year-old. The recently crowned Atlanta Open champion, however, hilariously added that he did not fret over her absence since he was "doing well" on the court.

“I’d normally be pretty upset about it but I did well, so,” the 2022 Indian Wells champion jokingly said.

“As long as he’s winning lol,” Morgan Riddle hilariously added on her Instagram story.
