"Don't know why I come to Mexico when I half die every time" - Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle on falling ill during Acapulco Open

Taylor Fritz's girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, recently shared her experience of falling ill during the 2024 Mexican Open in Acapulco.

Fourth-seeded Fritz was defeated by Italy's Matteo Arnaldi 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 in the first round match in Acapulco. Despite serving one more ace than his opponent's eight, and converting half of his six break point opportunities, Fritz was unable to secure the win.

Riddle later took to Instagram to share a series of stories, and one of them was a video of herself getting checked by a medical professional. She expressed her frustration at that, questioning why she goes back to Mexico as she always 'half dies' whenever she visits the country.

"idk why I continue to come to Mexico when I half die literally every time," Riddle wrote.

Riddle also posted a picture of a plate of tacos, attributing her illness to them.

"Scene of the crime," she shared.

Despite her health issues, Riddle shared another video where she stated that she would return to LA looking "snatched", despite her recent illness.

" ✨ When you were in the bathroom the entire time you were in Mexico but about to come back to LA absolutely snatched ✨ 😌 😌 💅 ," Morgan Riddle stated.

Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle on US hospitals banning IVF after controversial Alabama court ruling

Some hospitals in the United States, including the largest hospital in Alabama, have temporarily halted their in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments due to a controversial court decision. The ruling declared that frozen embryos are legally equivalent to children, leading to potential criminal charges or punitive damages for patients and doctors who do not safeguard them.

The Alabama Supreme Court's decision was influenced by cases involving three couples whose frozen embryos were destroyed in a fertility clinic accident.

The ruling seemingly angered Morgan Riddle, who took to social media to express her concerns. She called the decision "horrible" and said it would be "the worst news" for many women. She also implied that birth control could be the next target of the justice system.

"This is horrible. I can’t imagine how many women woke up to the worst news of their life this morning. Birth control is next. Don’t forget to vote this year besties," Riddle wrote in her Instagram story.
