Taylor Fritz and his girlfriend Morgan Riddle have one of the most beautiful love stories in tennis. They are among the most known tennis couples in the tennis fraternity. Well, Morgan is not a tennis player, but she is quite connected to the tennis world, especially after her stint at Wimbledon. But not everyone is quite aware of how the couple met.

Fritz and Morgan did not come across each other at a restaurant or party or at a tennis event like other tennis couples. In fact, they met like how average teenage couples do through a dating app. Recently, Morgan revealed the backstory and the couple’s luck to match with each other quickly.

Morgan sat for a long podcast session with ‘Making Moves with TK‘ recently. She weighed in on some vital moments of her career and the Wimbledon stint. When the topic shifted to her boyfriend, the American No. 1, she recalled their first meeting. The couple met on ‘Raya’ dating app, which initially was a dating app and now is mainly used for networking.

Morgan said, “So we met on Raya because, like I said, I moved to LA during the pandemic. I didn’t know anybody. I didn’t have any friends. There was no way to meet people. And my friend was like, oh, you should just try out this app. So I was like, Yeah, whatever. He was like the second guy. I met on it. Yeah, I got pretty lucky with it.

It’s not often that we see athletes meeting the love of their life over a dating app. However, Fritz and Morgan were lucky enough to take their chances. Over the years, their relationship has grown a lot and they often display affection for each other on social media.
