Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle reacted ominously to the dreaded probability of the LA wildfires reigniting after weather forecasts and news reports indicated winds could intensify in the region. The frightening firestorms have already done significant damage, with at least 24 individuals known to have died and hundreds of billions' worth of property left in utter ruin.
On Monday, January 13, the official Instagram handle of the Los Angeles Times shared a post predicting more intense winds to hit the LA area. Part of the post read:
"Gusts could range from 45 mph to 70 mph, and the air will be quite dry, especially Tuesday, with relative humidity as low as 5%. There will be a higher risk of power outages, rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior, with fires able to travel swiftly as embers fly at high speeds."

"Crisis strips away the superficial, leaving only what truly matters" - Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle on the LA community standing together in the face of raging wildfires
Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle followed up her concerning post about the LA wildfires with one that was full of optimism and appreciation. Riddle thanked two of her friends for keeping her spirits up despite the ongoing tragedy in Los Angeles and also lauded the city's response to the emergency situation.
"My friends @tullyhumphrey and @spasini have been getting me up at 6 AM every morning, taking me to the park and breathwork classes and workouts keeping me from doomscrolling and spiraling around what's happening back home," Riddle wrote.
The prominent tennis and lifestyle influencer added:
"Similarly -- the way the community in LA has rallied together to help those affected by the fire has been nothing short of pure magic. In times of crisis, the way people show up for each other reveals the depth of human connection and resilience. Strangers become family and friends become lifelines. Crisis strips away the superficial, leaving only what truly matters: connection, care, and love."
Morgan Riddle and Taylor Fritz are in Melbourne, Australia, for the 2025 Australian Open.
