“I know for a for a fact that I have brought new fans, young girls, to tennis,” Taylor Fritz‘s girlfriend once said in an interview. Since 2021, Riddle’s presence has changed the direction of the WAG aesthetics in the tennis world. Often seen cheering for her boyfriend from the stands, she is the most ‘Famous Woman in Men’s Tennis,’ per the New York Times, and aims to ‘make tennis cool again.’ A tennis fan’s honest confession has melted hearts and suggests she could be headed in the right direction.

Taylor Fritz’s resurgence in tennis by making a deep run to the finals of the US Open has created history in the sport. He fell short to Jannik Sinner but finished the tournament by being the first American to reach a major final since 2009! While he is busy breaking and making records in tennis, the Minnesota-based influencer continues to intrigue fans with her engaging content on Instagram and Tiktok, with either ‘behind the scenes,’ glimpses of tournaments or her fashionable looks in the matches. 

It seems to be working pretty well for the 27-year-old American, with Instagram followers of 393K and who also worked with Vogue a few months ago. And as per a former USTA player, who goes by the name ‘Iz’ on Instagram, meeting Fritz and Riddle drew her back to the sport! Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend posted on her Instagram a heartwarming story that highlighted the fan’s initial struggle with “physical and mental health issues” that compelled her to quit tennis and college. 

For the American, tennis was a name synonymous with either Serena Williams or Rafael Nadal’s game. However, “In early 2022, I stumbled upon Morgan Riddle’s content and her and Taylor Fritz’s pursuit about trying to get more people into the sport. I am now watching tennis again regardless of who is playing,” she stated. “Let’s make tennis cool again. Taylor has been progressing and killing it. It’s only up from here,” the fan concluded. 

Riddle, who started dating Taylor Fritz in 2020, once said, “Taylor [Fritz] and I have this collective goal of making tennis more popular for the younger generation.” Per Fritz, his girlfriend, who has more than 500,000 followers on TikTok, is doing an “awesome” job for the sport, bringing ‘a ton’ of the audience to watch tennis. Besides achieving her personal goal for the sport, the WAG influencer’s priorities are clear in her head and it majorly includes supporting her boyfriend. In the US Open, we saw a similar scene unfold!
