Just like last year Taylor Fritz isn’t alone at the Wimbledon. His girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, a common sight on his tours, has joined him for his latest competition. But Riddle isn’t there to support Fritz, she has some business to tend to and is making the most of her Grass court experience with her seasonal job, at the prim and proper Grass Slam.
The influencer girlfriend of the American tennis star certainly knows how to grab the opportunity presented. The most famous woman in men’s tennis, Riddle has been the center of attention at quite a few ATP Tours. From posting about her courtside fashion to her relationship on her social media pages, she has influenced many online followers—specifically female members to turn into tennis fans. And at Wimbledon, she is continuing that tradition carrying forward a partnership that began last year.
In 2023, at Wimbledon Riddle collaborated with competition to give viewers a glimpse of the slam. She announced she’ll be serving as the host for the tournament’s lifestyle and fashion series, “Wimbledon Threads,” which is back with another episode this year as she gives the tennis enthusiast an overview from a player’s perspective!
In the snippet of the recent episode, shared on her Instagram account, she is dressed in black! the opposite shade of the official Wimbledon color. Riddle starts by explaining the routine of tennis stars from the moment they step down from the tournament cars. After getting off, players make an underground journey to the players’ lounge and restaurant. In the middle of explaining it all, Riddle almost “ate it” as she misstepped on the carpet.
Not to be fazed, she proceeded to explain the facilities available at the coveted lounge- a hair salon, nail salon, and a coffee bar! In the middle, she opens up about her failed attempts to persuade Fritz to try the salon facilities at Wimbledon. The video ends after she explains the measures taken by the tournament to safeguard the courts from pigeons and not forgetting the barometer to predict weather and the famous photo gallery, where winners greet fans with trophies!
Last week as well, she posted a couple of photos on Instagram stories. In one story, she was interviewing a fan and shared, “i am soooo excited to be back this year with @wimbledon to host Wimbledon threads this year we have expanded the show to cover not just fashion but all behind the scenes, Wimbledon history, all access areas & more. super excited to bring you all along!” In the other story, she was seen with a camera and taking snaps of her boyfriend with the caption, “I have many jobs.”
Riddle became a social media sensation during last year’s tournament when she would show off her outfits and accessories on TikTok before heading to the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club to support Fritz. She has been dating the tennis star since 2020 and has accompanied him on his many tours.
It seems that this time the couple is intricately involved in the Wimbledon Championships, one on the court and the other off of it. Despite a busy schedule of her own, Riddle is never short of supporting her boyfriend, as he makes a way through the tournament.
And he is getting ready to face the seasoned French Open runner-up Zverev. Tennis fans would be hoping for Riddle to showcase more love and support after her celebrations following his R2 victory!
Morgan Riddle’s ‘hearty’ message to celebrate Taylor Fritz’s R2 victory
Fritz R2’s victory grabbed many gazes due to his feud with Arthur Rinderknech. Despite being often calm, the American got ticked off by the French player’s constant disrespect. As such Fritz waited to answer all the words with his racquet. After winning the contest, the American cheekily wished his opponent to have a “nice flight home.”
Consequently, to celebrate her beau’s win over the scathing shots and words fired by Rinderknech, Riddle shared multiple videos from the game. Captioned “into round 3 🤍.”
A huge test of will and tennis skills awaits Taylor Fritz against the German Alexander Zverev in the R4. As tennis fans will cast their eyes on the last 16 showdown, there will be many who wait on Morgan Riddle’s next installment of Wimbledon Threads.
