Morgan Riddle, the famous influencer-girlfriend of Taylor Fritz, embraced a new role at the prestigious Wimbledon Championships as she bagged the role of an anchor for their lifestyle and fashion series called Wimbledon Threads. She got this position because one of her videos about dressing up for a tennis match for her boyfriend went viral on TikTok a year ago. However, despite being given this opportunity, she shared what she struggles with the most in the tennis world in a recent interview.

Riddle, who has been dating her tennis ace boyfriend Fritz for three years now, got a golden chance to be more than just a social media influencer. At the All England Lawn Tennis Club, this year, she interviewed people about their outfits and accessories.

Morgan Riddle talked about what she has achieved in the tennis world through her ?influencer? career now and what she still aims to achieve in the tennis world.

Talking about it during an interview with People, she said, ?People taking me a little bit more seriously in the tennis world, that’s something that I’ve struggled with. I guess the older, maybe more misogynist side of the tennis fan base is my biggest group of people that I’ve been working to win over a little bit.?

Not just that, she also shared some of the other criticism that she has received while recording her life around tennis. In the same interview, she briefly talked about what her critics have to say about her journey to make tennis cooler.

Trying to make tennis more accessible might seem to have come easy for Morgan, but she also had to face her fair share of criticism.

She also added that even though the internet is a very scary place where criticism and negative feedback flows so freely, she has also had people who have supported her and remained positive. Morgan?s aim to promote tennis has been received as wholesome and she hopes that it will remain the same. Do you think she’s succeeding in turning the attention of the younger generation to tennis?
