Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend Morgan Riddle has hit out at the haters on social media who disregard her contribution to tennis.

Morgan Riddle has played a major role in Taylor Fritz's tennis career in recent times. And in her own unconventional way, Riddle has been instrumental in attracting a younger fanbase to the sport, both in the United States and outside.

In fact, Riddle once declared that her mission was “to make tennis cool again.” As part of her goal, Fritz’s partner has been engaging with her followers on social media and posting a lot of behind-the-scenes content of the couple’s tennis touring life.

However, as is often the case these days, the American has also faced criticism from haters and trolls. In response to the unwarranted criticism, Riddle recently came up with a witty, mocking remark on social media.

“All the misogynist men on twitter who say i do absolutely nothing for the sport -- The World Clown Association is bringing together all types of clowns for its 40th annual convention,” she said, quoting a tweet by the NPR.

Taylor Fritz is currently contesting the second leg of the Sunshine Double – the 2023 Miami Open. During a recent press conference at the event, the American athlete was asked about his girlfriend’s efforts to popularize the sport in the United States.

Fritz responded by stating that it has always been his goal to bring tennis to the forefront in America.

"It's always been one of my goals to just see tennis grow and make tennis more popular outside of the casual tennis fan. I wanted tennis to become a more well-known and talked about sport in the US," Fritz said.

He further lavished praise on Morgan Riddle, commending her thoughtful efforts in helping him achieve his dream.

"She's always known that that's been one of my goals, and she's kind of done a really good job of finding this niche of content and, I guess, trying to popularize tennis," Fritz remarked. "It's been really great. Impressive as well with what she's been able to do and generate a lot of hype for tennis. You know, reach people that, I guess, tennis normally wouldn't reach."

Taylor Fritz is certainly living up to the expectations when it comes to entertaining the rising tennis fanbase. The American has put together some outstanding results in the past year, and is continuing his strong run at the ongoing Miami Open.

Fritz is through to the final 16 of the Masters event and is scheduled for a clash against Denmark’s Holger Rune next.
