Taylor Fritz's girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, gave an affirmative answer to shut down criticism on her "capitalising" the American's tennis career. The couple started dating in 2020 and since then, Riddle has been travelling along with Fritz during his tours and has been spotted cheering for him in his matches, while also filming content for her social media.
Having gained popularity for showing her life through video content, she has garnered a large fan following on social media. Appearing in an episode of Olivia Molly Rogers' Tell Me More Podcast, she candidly spoke on how she has been dealing with the buzz online about her exploiting the tennis star.
"People say that I am capitalizing off of his career. And I'm like, 'Yep, you know what? I am.' And he's okay with that. And I'm okay with that because, you know, it's—it's a partnership," she said.

Taylor Fritz set for Italian Open 2025
Taylor Fritz has entered the Masters 1000 event in Rome as the fourth seed of the tournament. Having received a bye to the second round, he will be facing the winner of the clash between Gabriel Diallo and Marcos Giron in his Round of 64 match.
Even though he has not had a very fruitful run this season, other than his United Cup triumph earlier this year, he still maintains his position in the Top 5 of the world ladder. From here on, he will look to secure a grand slam title to keep his position fixed, after facing a heartbreaking loss in the US Open last year.
