Taylor Fritz's Girlfriend Turns Heads With 4-Word Message at Wimbledon
'It's getting pretty annoying having to stop all the time,' Fritz said after requiring two medical stoppages to deal with a bloody elbow during the match. 'I feel bad for my opponent when I keep having to stop all the time, but you can only really do it on grass. I'm just really determined to get some of these balls, and eventually I'm going to win one of these points.'

The three-hour, 12-minute victory set the stage for a match against Jordan Thompson with the winner heading to the quarterfinals - where Fritz has reached in two of his last three Wimbledon appearances.
As Fritz prepares for another match, his girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, is getting used to the WAG life off of the court. "I've always embraced the WAG thing,' she told Harpers Bazaar. 'I knew no matter what my feelings were on it, that's what I'd be called – so I never wanted to attach anything negative to it. Instead, I wanted to shift people's perspective on the word.'
The social media influencer gave her nearly 450,000 followers on Instagram something to talk about ahead of Fritz's next match. "one serve, two serve," she said while showing off a white dress matching Wimbledon's aesthetic.

"Serving aces, c'monnn🔥😍," one person said.
"Honey she's home! 🎾," added another.
"serving!! 🔥" offered a third.
While Riddle accepts the "WAG" moniker, she's also creating a lane of her own.
"People think of a WAG as someone who follows their partner around without having their own life,' she said. 'Maybe they're financially dependent on them. I came in swinging, really making my own name in this space, and am trying to actively contribute to the sport. I don't just take glam pictures of myself. I know for a fact that I have brought a younger demographic to the game, and a younger, female-led audience too. I've made it more welcoming for female fans. Having a purpose for everything I'm doing is very important to me."

‘It'll always be love': Jalen Green understanding and unsurprised after trade from Houston
'It's for the better of the team,' former Rockets guard Jalen Green tells the Houston Chronicle's Danielle Lerner. 'I know it's a business at the end of the day.' Despite being traded by the Houston Rockets after four seasons with the team, Jalen Green insists there are no hard feelings with the city. After catching up with Green at the NBA's 2025 summer league in Las Vegas, Houston Chronicle beat writer Danielle Lerner reports: While in Las Vegas, Green said he planned to meet up with some former Rockets teammates including Jabari Smith Jr. And just as he emphasized in his heartfelt farewell post on Instagram, Green wanted to stress that there's no bad blood between him and the city he once called home. 'I love H-Town,' Green said. 'It'll always be love in Houston.' Green was watching his new team, the Phoenix Suns, in Friday night's game. While there, he told Lerner that the trade package for Kevin Durant — a perennial NBA All-Star and future Hall of Famer — wasn't a surprise. 'Yeah, I had a feeling. They've been trying to trade me since last year,' Green told the Houston Chronicle. 'I'm not tripping. It's for the better of the team. I know it's a business at the end of the day. I really can't handle how I feel. Whatever happens, happens. At the end of the day, I still got the opportunity to play basketball.' Green's interview with Lerner represented his first public comments since the deal, which was agreed to on June 22. He was notified by Rockets general manager Rafael Stone that morning. The initial Durant agreement included Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 overall draft pick in the 2025 first round, and five future second-round selections. Before the deal was finalized, it was expanded to also include the Atlanta Hawks and a sign-and-trade for veteran center Clint Capela.

Buccaneers' Tight End Missing From Elite List
Buccaneers' Tight End Missing From Elite List originally appeared on Athlon Sports. While some Tampa Bay Buccaneers players are finally starting to garner some national attention, others are not. This offseason, we've seen the likes of Mike Evans, Bucky Irving, Tristan Wirfs, Baker Mayfield, Antoine Winfield Jr. and Jamel Dean honored on "best of" lists representing Tampa Bay. Advertisement But as we peruse ESPN's top 10 tight ends in the NFL ahead of the 2025 season, there's no Bucs player to be found - no Cade Otton. Is that deserved? Maybe. Otton is good. He's good for the Bucs. But is he elite? Certainly an argument could be made that he's not. Especially with his history of drops. Otton was a fourth-round pick by the Bucs in 2022 out of then-Pac-12 powerhouse Washington. He had an impressive rookie campaign with 391 yards and two touchdowns, but suffered from drops. He posted just 42 catches on 65 targets with five drops, leading all tight ends. The next season wasn't much better, with three drops on 67 targets, and he got worse last season. In 2024, Otton posted 59 catches on 87 targets with 600 yards and four touchdowns but eight drops. Advertisement If Otton can clean up his pass catching, he'd be a far more effective offensive tool for Mayfield and the Bucs. In ProFootballFocus' rankings earlier this season, Otton was No. 20 overall, which actually sounds a little high, honestly. "Otton's Achilles' heel is drops. He has the third most (11) at the position across the past two years. His 63.1 PFF receiving grade in 2024 was a career high and also marks the first time he generated more than 1 yard per route run (1.31). If he can hang on to the ball (also three fumbles the past two years), Otton has the skills to rise on this list." This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 11, 2025, where it first appeared.

Ultrarunner, 60, dies after collapsing during 102-mile mountain race in Colorado
A seasoned ultrarunner from Michigan died after she collapsed during an arduous 102-mile footrace through a series of steep mountain passes in Colorado Friday. Elaine Stypula, 60, fell just three hours into the Hardrock Hundred Mile Endurance Run in Silverton, according to a press release from the San Juan County Sheriff's Office. Authorities and Silverton Medical Rescue found Stypula on the 'steep, rugged, remote' Little Giant Trail near Gold Lake, which is part of the grueling course, Silverton Medical Rescue said. The Farmington Hills, Mich., resident was so far off the beaten path that authorities could only drive within a quarter mile of her location before trekking the rest on foot, they added. 3 Elaine Stypula, 60, died during the Hardrock Endurance Race in Colorado on Friday. Instagram/@aesizzleultra Emergency personnel tried to resuscitate Stypula, but she was pronounced dead at 10:27 a.m., Silverton Medical Rescue said. The Hardrock Endurance Run is a two-day ultramarathon that takes competitors through Lake City, Ouray, Telluride, and Ophir before returning to Silverton, according to its website. 3 The Hardrock typically takes 40 hours to complete, according to the race's website. Hardrock Hundred Racers follow a clockwise course through the key sites, and hike a total of 13 major passes over 12,000 feet in elevation. Of them all, the highest point clocks in at Handies Peak, boasting a 14,048-foot summit. It's unclear if Stypula's collapse was spurred by the high elevation. The average competitor takes 40 hours to complete the entire ultramarathon, according to the run's website. 3 Stypula was a seasoned marathoner who raced all over the world. Instagram/@esizzleultra 'We are deeply saddened to share that a beloved member of our Hardrock Hundred Mile Endurance Run family has passed away during this year's event. Our hearts are with their family, friends, and fellow runners as we grieve this tremendous loss,' Hardrock wrote on its website. 'We are committed to caring for runners, crews, volunteers, and all members of our community through the event's duration and beyond.' Beyond being a passionate marathoner, Stypula worked as a family attorney, according to her Instagram. She previously participated in the Transalpine Run, the Paris Marathon, the Brooklyn Marathon and the Death Valley Trail Marathon. She also scaled Mont Blanc, Mount Rainier and even the Alps, according to her Instagram. Stypula qualified for the Hardrock Endurance Race in 2022, according to Instagram. She ran in 2018 as well, but did not finish, per her ultra-marathon profile.
