In a recent episode of the 'The Squeeze' Podcast, Taylor Fritz's girlfriend talked about how the story of losing her grandmother introduced her to mental health.

"I would say my very first was my grandma actually had schizophrenia. So, very much a familial, like was introduced from it very early on.

So I never actually got to meet that grandma, but was told about it as I got older and stuff," she said (3:35).

The tennis WAG also shared a look back to her high school days that introduced her to the first chapter of anxiety.

"I was like a very troublesome kid, which I think I have talked about before on my platforms. But I had like a really bad GPA in college or in high school. And then when I was thinking about getting into college, I started having so much anxiety because I was like, 'oh my gosh, I'm not going to be able to get into college'," she added.

However, despite the challenges, Riddle emerged as a successful personality. She not only backs Taylor Fritz in his competitions but also leads her own hectic professional life, which includes YouTube, collaborations, brand deals and so on.
