Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle - "It’s a privilege to be underestimated"
Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle shed the negativity around the 'WAG' tag in a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar. She said she did not take offense in being called a 'WAG', adding that anyone who happens to be a partner to a professional athlete knew how difficult it was.
"No offence taken — the only reason I would take offence to that is because the misogynistic sports culture has made out “WAG” to have negative connotations around it. Anyone in the position of being a partner to a professional athlete knows how difficult and stressful it is to support someone in their position," Riddle said.
Riddle added that she would continue to carve a niche for herself in tennis, irrespective of people disregarding her.
"I have made and will continue to make a name for myself within the sport by looking at tennis from a feminine perspective, and introducing it to a younger audience through fun and educational content. If people want to disregard me because I’m “just a WAG,” so be it. It’s a privilege to be underestimated," she said.
