Is Taylor Fritz the next American tennis legend, or is this just a fleeting moment of glory?

Taylor Fritz has been on a tear this season, and his unstoppable rise is amazing to watch! With two titles already under his belt this year, the American powerhouse has shown his rivals why he’s one of the fiercest threats on the court. And, as he continues to add more feathers to his glorious hat of success, there’s someone cheering him on louder than his fans: his ultimate support system, Morgan Riddle.

The American sensation is all set to play against Jack Draper at the Paris Masters on October 30, Wednesday. But even before his participation, the 27-year-old received a major news that he is going to be a part of the ATP Finals to be held in Turin later this year. And guess what? His girlfriend, Riddle, cannot be prouder. 

Taking to her Instagram story, Riddle shared a post that detailed the qualification of Fritz. Taking pride in the success of her beau, the American internet personality wrote, “Heading back to turin 🥹🩷,” signifying her immense support for the star player. Fritz has qualified for the tournament twice in the past three years and is now gearing up to play at the Inalpi Arena in Turin from 10-17 November. In his last appearance at the tournament in 2022, he displayed remarkable skills and qualified for the semi-finals. Interestingly, he became the only American to qualify for the tournament in 2022 since John Isner secured a position in 2018.

Besides winning titles at Delray Beach and Eastbourne, he became the first American male player since 2009 to play the Grand Slam singles final at the US Open. And as the latest success comes his way, he is receiving immense love and support from his girlfriend.

After his heartbreaking defeat at the US Open against Jannik Sinner, Riddle shared an emotional yet motivating post for the American player.

When Morgan Riddle teased Taylor Fritz for his latest look

Taylor Fritz captured headlines ahead of the Paris Masters. However, it was not owing to his professional activities, but a major style change. He colored his hair blonde. While this drew strong reactions from all over the tennis community, his girlfriend Riddle did not take a back seat either and playfully teased the player

Riddle shared a picture of the ATP star with his blonde locks and wrote a simple message, “Home.” However, her cheeky side started to come to light soon. In a follow-up story, the influencer clarified that she had no role in her boyfriend’s decision to go blonde. “I didn’t think you actually would. I thought you were just getting a haircut,” she wrote. Riddle again joked and claimed that she was equally surprised by Fritz’s latest look. “Would just like everyone to know I was also blindsided by this,” she wrote.
