Morgan Riddle's bold fashion at the US Open—Is she redefining tennis style or just seeking attention?

“I’ve always liked getting dressed up,” says Morgan Riddle. It was kind of an accident how the now-successful influencer fell into the social media world. Today, she has almost 350K followers on Instagram and over 500K on TikTok. And while Taylor Fritz is making waves with his performances on the ATP Tour, his girlfriend is making a name for herself through fashion.

Dubbed the ‘most famous woman in men’s tennis,’ Riddle is often found courtside cheering on her boyfriend. Her GRWM (Get Ready With Me) videos on TikTok are often the most popular on the platform. And one such video has amassed attention again. In one of her recent TikToks, Riddle shares a video of herself dancing to a remix of Apple X Supercut. The 27-year-old wears a brown theme – long boots, jacket, and shorts, with a dark blue crop top and black hat with a purse on her side. But what is interesting is the caption – “how I leave for a match knowing men will hate my outfit.”

A few days ago, Riddle grabbed eyeballs for choosing a classic outfit to attend one of Fritz’s matches – a little black dress. Now, the US Open doesn’t have a strict dress code for the audience (or the players), unlike Wimbledon, where players wear white and the crowd is dressed up formally. But for someone of Riddle’s reputation, each outfit makes a stance that someone or the other will have a problem with.

The social media sensation has often spoken up about uncomfortable experiences at sports tournaments, like the Super Bowl this year. But with a bold proclamation in her viral TikTok video, Riddle is making clear she’s not riled up by anyone who might take offense to her dressing sense. After all, the massive support she receives on different platforms speaks for itself.

With her rising stardom on social media, Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend has found a new mission. “I’ve always liked getting dressed up, so I posted a TikTok getting ready for a tennis match one morning—not really thinking anything of it—and then my videos started to do well,” Riddle told the Observer. “I didn’t really have a mission at first, but it kind of morphed into this thing of introducing tennis to a younger audience.”

But the fashionista is studying up on whatever she can and is ready to enjoy the upcoming New York Fashion Week to the fullest. In fact, she has a list of designers she particularly wants to see.

“I’ve spent the last year learning as much as I can about different designers and fashion houses. I have a list of dream shows and presentations, but Khaite, Miu Miu, Sandy Liang, Tory Burch, and Michael Kors are probably my top five,” Riddle told the Observer.
