Morgan Riddle arrived in Paris, buzzing with excitement to support Taylor Fritz, but her adventure quickly took a dramatic turn. Just when she thought the City of Light would greet her with open arms, she faced an unexpected challenge. In one of her recent Instagram stories, she vividly recounted the tense moment, transforming her much-anticipated trip into a gripping tale of resilience amidst chaos.
Riddle got trapped in an elevator and in her Instagram story, she recounted the harrowing ordeal, detailing her frantic attempts to press the buttons and seek assistance. With a mix of humor and frustration, she exclaimed, “Why do I keep getting stuck in elevators? This is my third time in as many months—I hateee it!”
However, Morgan Riddle revealed how the matter was ultimately settled in a follow-up story. She stressed that a rescue squad helped her while she waited calmly with her bags inside the elevator. She amusingly added, “Meet the rescue team,” disclosing that the hotel personnel was actually the so-called rescue crew.

Previously posting a picture of herself and her luggage on Instagram, she wrote, “Also had a delayed flight and “multiple* explosions in my suitcase that were so bad it was leaking all over the baggage claim.” Taylor Fritz is aiming for the 2024 Nitto ATP Finals in Turin, Italy, after competing in this week’s Paris Masters.
