Taylor Fritz is making headlines as he ventures into uncharted territory in his Grand Slam career, and no one is prouder than his longtime girlfriend, Morgan Riddle. Fritz secured a spot in the U.S. Open semifinals for the first time in his career after a hard-fought 7-6(2), 3-6, 6-4, 7-6(3) victory over No. 4 seed Alexander Zverev. As he celebrated his monumental achievement, Riddle was right there cheering him on.
Riddle, who has become a familiar face in Fritz’s player box, was caught on camera by ESPN and photographers clapping and smiling as Fritz clinched his place in the final four at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Her excitement was palpable as she shared her joy with her social media followers, posting a video from inside the stadium with the caption “Semi finals” accompanied by three painting nails emojis—a playful nod to Fritz’s impressive win.
But that wasn’t all. Riddle also re-shared several posts from fans and supporters, including one that dubbed her and Fritz a “power couple.” She responded to another post jokingly, after someone commented that ESPN seemed to be a bigger fan of her than of Fritz himself. Riddle quipped back, “Shots fired,” showing her lighthearted attitude amid the attention.

Throughout the U.S. Open, Riddle has been active on social media, documenting her experience both at the tournament and in New York City. Over the past two weeks, she’s shared numerous photos and videos of her time in the Big Apple, highlighting her journey alongside Fritz. One post in particular featured a series of photos taken around the grounds at Queens, where she expressed her passion for the game, writing, “I know love exists because this game is full of it!!”
Riddle has made headlines before for her enthusiastic support of Fritz, most notably during his Wimbledon run in July. After Fritz’s Round of 16 victory at the All England Club, Riddle shared celebratory posts, including one captioned “When ur mans wins for the girls” with Chappell Roan’s hit song “Hot to Go!” playing in the background. However, the post sparked media attention and was quickly misunderstood. Riddle promptly deleted the video and addressed the situation, explaining, “I took them down as soon as I realized the misunderstanding and how blown out of proportion they had become by the media. They were not about anything that’s happened off the tennis court & there’s no bad blood between anyone.”
Now, as Fritz prepares for his first-ever U.S. Open semifinal, the support from Riddle and his growing fanbase has only intensified. He will face either fellow American Frances Tiafoe or Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov in the next round, hoping to continue his remarkable run and reach the finals.
With Riddle by his side, Fritz is not only proving himself on the tennis court but also enjoying the unwavering support of his partner as he reaches new heights in his career.
As the couple continues to make waves both on and off the court, it’s clear that they are not just winning in tennis, but in life as well.
