US Open 2024: Taylor Fritz’s stunning girlfriend Morgan Riddle cheers on her man from the front row
American world No. 1 Taylor Fritz was cheered on from the front row by his beautiful girlfriend Morgan Riddle at the US Open on Monday afternoon.
Model and influencer Riddle didn’t let the blazing New York sun get her down. She wore a blue top and cream shorts to watch her boyfriend’s first-round match.
During the first set, the 27-year-old could be heard encouraging her husband with ‘Come on T’, before standing up to celebrate him winning the first set on Louis Armstrong Court.
At the end of the first set—after fanning herself with her VIP pass for five minutes—Riddle ran off the court for a break, pausing briefly with fans who spilled out to take selfies.
Until a few months ago, Riddle was able to blend in with the crowd at her boyfriend’s tennis tournaments, but that is no longer the case.

She was recently named “the most famous woman in men’s tennis” by The New York Times after a heated online feud with Fritz’s rival Alexander Zverev.
After Fritz defeated the Germans, who was accused of physically abusing the mother of his child in 2020 and has since agreed to a $217,820 settlement, Riddle posted on her Instagram Story: “A win for the girls.”
Although Zverev was found not guilty of any wrongdoing, the Instagram post appeared to hint at his off-field issues, with the player himself taking offence to the comments.
“His team is extremely respectful. I think his coach, his physiotherapist, and also his second coach, are extremely respectful,” Zverev said.
“I think there are other people in the box who may not be from the tennis world, who may not have watched every match. They were a little bit over the top.”

She later responded to the cryptic post, clarifying: “Regarding my stories yesterday… I deleted them as soon as I realized the misunderstandings and how much they had been taken out of context by the media.”
She continued: ‘It wasn’t about anything that happened off the tennis court and there is no animosity between the two.’
It remains to be seen whether Fritz and Zverev will play at the US Open again this year.
