Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle recently opened up about her fitness hiatus during her boyfriend's 2023 US Open run.

Riddle has been documenting her fun-filled activities, showing off her fashion style and giving fans a glimpse of her glamorous life at Flushing Meadows. The 26-year-old posted a picture of herself on her Instagram story on Tuesday, September 19, revealing that she was heading to a workout session for the first time in over three weeks.

"On my way to work out for the first time in over 3 weeks! The last month i entirely prioritized fun > any form of physical and mental well- being. i gained 10 pounds, did not work out once AND i have no regrets because i ate the best NYC bagels & pizza & gave my body the chance to rest!!!" Riddle wrote on Instagram.

"Just a reminder sometimes you can’t do everything and it’s ok to allow waves where certain things take a backseat. you can always start again 😋," she continued.

A deeper dive into Taylor Fritz's run at the 2023 US Open

Taylor Fritz had an impressive journey at the 2023 US Open, making it to the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam for the second time in his career. Fritz's hopes of a maiden Major title were, however, dashed by eventual champion Novak Djokovic.

The American had a relatively smooth path to the quarterfinals, winning his matches without dropping a single set.

His campaign began with a straight-sets victory over fellow American Steve Johnson in the opening round. Fritz then breezed past Juan Pablo Varillas of Peru, Jakub Mensik of the Czech Republic, and Dominic Stricker of Switzerland in the following rounds.

The quarterfinal clash against Djokovic proved to be the 25-year-old's most formidable challenge in the tournament. The Serb, who was aiming to equal Margaret Court's record of 24 Major singles titles, displayed no mercy as he dominated Fritz throughout the match.

Djokovic secured a 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 victory in a match that lasted two hours and 34 minutes.

Taylor Fritz is now headed to Vancouver to participate in the 2023 Laver Cup as part of Team World.
