Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend Morgan Riddle has often expressed her liking for Melbourne. During her visit Down Under earlier this year though, she revealed the one Australian thing she isn’t a fan of – vegemite.

When Fritz reached the fourth round of the 2024 Australian Open, Riddle hilariously promised to eat vegemite “live” if her boyfriend was to win another match at the Melbourne Slam.

"If @taylor_fritz wins again ill eat a jar of vegemite on live," she wrote on Instagram.

As it turned out, Fritz knocked out 2023 runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas to advance to his quarterfinal at the tournament. Following his victory, the American No. 1 was gifted a jar of vegemite when he assured that his girlfriend would keep her promise.

"I told them I was gonna win. My girlfriend thought I was too confident going into the match," Fritz said in his on-court interview.

"I won’t be partaking [eating vegemite] but I’ll make sure it happens," he said. "I have [tasted it], yeah. I wasn’t the biggest fan, no."

Keeping her word, Riddle ate a spoonful of the Australian spread on her Instagram Live.
