Taylor Fritz's win: A turning point for American tennis or just a one-time wonder?

Taylor Fritz is a phoenix rising from his ashes. After a disappointing exit from Wimbledon, Fritz could not move beyond round 2 in Canada and round 1 in Cincinnati. While hopes about his victory were gone in the ashes, the ATP star managed to turn the tables. As he reaches an incredible mark at the American Slam, his beau Morgan Riddle showcases absolute joy at the American’s intense hard work.

Fritz made a swift entry to the ongoing US Open semifinals after defeating Alexander Zverev 7-6, 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 at Arthur Ashe. After his epic win, Fritz’s longtime girlfriend Morgan Riddle came forward to celebrate her beau’s impressive performance as he entered the semifinals for the first time. Riddle shared a clip from the Arthur Ashe Stadium after Fritz’s quarterfinal victory on her Instagram story. “SEMI FINALSSSS!!!” she captioned the clip, as Fritz gave the on-court interview.

Riddle also shared the US Open’s official Instagram post, where they uploaded Fritz’s picture with his victory gesture and wrote, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Fritz’s expression could tell he was delighted beyond imagination after defeating Zverev at the ongoing US Open. He also hugged his opponent, clearing the air about their feud in the Round of 16 at 2024 Wimbledon. Zverev complained about noise from Fitz’s box which started the argument.

His team is extremely respectful. I think his coach, his physio, also his second coach, they’re extremely respectful, I think there’s some other people that maybe are in the box that are not maybe from the tennis world, that are not maybe from particularly watching every single match. They were a bit over the top,” Zverev said referring to Fritz’s girlfriend Morgan Riddle. Following his comments, Riddle uploaded a video on Instagram, which many thought was an indirect jibe at Zverev. However, she deleted it soon afterward mentioning how it had nothing to do with Zverev.
