Riddle and Fritz have been dating for three years now. The former is a social media influencer who previously worked in the real estate and modeling industries. She often posts about her boyfriend's matches and is regularly seen in the stands cheering for Fritz.

Last week, Riddle was featured in a New York Times article where she was called the "most famous woman in men's tennis."

Fritz's fourth-round opponent Stricker had earlier defeated two-time Grand Slam finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas in a five-set thriller in the second round.

Taylor Fritz will take on Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals of the US Open 2023

Western & Southern Open - Day 6

Taylor Fritz will lock horns with Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals of the US Open. Fritz has faced the 23-time Grand Slam winner seven times on the tour, but has yet to taste victory.

Djokovic defeated Borna Gojo in the fourth round to set up a quarterfinal clash with Fritz. This will be the second meeting between the two this year.

During his on-court interview, Taylor Fritz acknowledged his poor record against Djokovic and expressed his desire to beat the veteran for the first time in his career.

"Novak's Novak. It's tough. I said it on court, he's gotten me seven times. There's no one on Tour that has any kind of a record like that against me, so I'm hoping one of these times I've got to get him. US Open quarters would be a pretty good time to get him," the American said.
