Taylor Fritz reveals how girlfriend Morgan Riddle has been crucial to his Wimbledon run
Taylor Fritz is using the power of love to continue his run at Wimbledon. The 27-year-old American tennis star admitted after his quarterfinal victory over Karen Khachanov on Tuesday that his recent success in the sport has coincided with dating influencer and content creator Morgan Riddle. 'There's been a pretty constant results-and-ranking rise since we've been together,' Fritz said. 'I think I would have to say she's been a big help to me just kind of keeping me focused, having someone who cares and just pushes you to just do better and do the right things, be healthier.' 4 Taylor Fritz of United States celebrates winning match point against Karen Khachanov during the Gentlemen's Singles quarter-final match on day nine of The Championships Wimbledon 2025 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 8, 2025 in London, England.

AFP via Getty Images He also said Riddle, who's been in attendance for the Grand Slam and was on hand for his four-set quarters win on Court 1, can be like a 'mother' with him in the sense that she can help ensure he has a proper diet and sleep. But Fritz realized maybe equating a mother and girlfriend wasn't the best idea. 'Yeah, that maybe wasn't the best choice of words.' Riddle has dated Fritz since 2020 and has been public with their relationship. 4 Morgan Riddle, partner of Taylor Fritz of the U.S. in the stands before his quarterfinal match against Russia's Karen Khachanov. REUTERS In 2022, she even took to her Instagram — where she has over 400,00 followers — to share a 2021 note to himself after his Wimbledon loss that read: 'Nobody in the whole world is underachieving harder than you, you are so f–king good but 40 in the world get your f–king s–t together.' Fritz, while smiling, said Tuesday that the note, which has been re-shared widely, was never meant to be public. Riddle, 27, hit back at critics earlier this year that believe she is just 'capitalizing' on Fritz's tennis success. 4 Taylor Fritz of the United States holds the championship trophy with girlfriend Morgan Riddle after winning a finals tennis match at the BNP Paribas Open played on March 20, 2022 at the Indian Wells Ennis Garden in Indian Wells, CA. Icon Sportswire via Getty Images 'I think historically, a lot of the older wives and partners on the [tennis] tour have been very private, heads down, in the box,' Riddle said on 'The Squeeze' podcast. 'They're there to cheer on their partner and they didn't have super public personas. '… I don't know if this is true, but I've been told by people on the tennis tour that when I was first posting TikTok [videos] a couple years ago, there was a clique of older wives on the tour and they would send my videos in their group chat and just make fun of me. 'So I definitely got a lot of backlash, both from within in the tennis community and the fans — I think because it was different. And I'm calling attention to myself. I guess people expected me to sit in the box, be relatively private and not capitalize on my partner's career. And I kinda came in guns blazing. I was like, 'well, f–k that,' and posted whatever I wanted to.' The fifth-seededFritz now has a date with No. 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz — the two-time defending Wimbledon champ — in the semifinals. If Fritz were to win, it would be just his second Grand Slam final appearance after falling just short at last year's U.S. Open.

Taylor Fritz credits girlfriend Morgan Riddle after Wimbledon win sends him to semifinal
Associated Press LONDON (AP) — Morgan knows best, apparently. Taylor Fritz thought the motivational note he wrote to himself after losing at Wimbledon four years ago would stay private. His girlfriend, influencer Morgan Riddle, later shared it on social media. "That note was never supposed to be public,' a smiling Fritz said after his 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4) win over Karen Khachanov set up a semifinal meeting with two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. Fritz had written to himself in the note that 'nobody in the whole world is underachieving harder than you' and urged himself to get his act together. Not only does Fritz forgive Riddle, he also credits her for having such a big impact on him rising to No. 5 in the world rankings in pursuit of his first Grand Slam title. 'There's been a pretty constant results-and-ranking rise since we've been together,' Fritz said. "I think I would have to say she's been a big help to me just kind of keeping me focused, having someone who cares and just pushes you to just do better and do the right things, be healthier. "Almost like kind of just mother me in a way," he added, chuckling to himself, 'with like, the diet and going to sleep on time.' A smiling Fritz later added: 'Yeah, that maybe wasn't the best choice of words.' The 27-year-old American, who was the runner-up at last year's U.S. Open, didn't face a break point in the first two sets against No. 17 Khachanov, who rebounded in the third set. It was 4-all in the fourth-set tiebreaker before Fritz claimed the final three points on Court No. 1. It's the first time Fritz has reached the last four at Wimbledon. He's won two grass-court titles this season — Stuttgart and Eastbourne — and was happy he wouldn't be facing Alcaraz on clay, which would be 'an absolute nightmare.' 'Grass is very much so an equalizer. It can be an equalizer. So trust in how I'm playing,' he said. 'I truly know the way that I played the first two sets today, there's not much any opponent on the other side can do.' Alcaraz: Golf first, then Fritz The second-seeded Alcaraz is within sight of a Wimbledon three-peat. He extended his winning streak to 23 matches this season by beating Cameron Norrie 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 on Centre Court. Alcaraz, who has beaten Novak Djokovic in the past two finals at the All England Club, faced only five break points and saved all of them. He wants to hit some other greens, though, before he faces Fritz 'For sure I'm going to play some golf, just to switch up my mind a little bit,' Alcaraz said The 22-year-old Spaniard has been playing golf with Andy Murray during his Wimbledon run. This time, his opponent could be actor Tom Holland, whom he had run into earlier. 'I would love to play against him in the golf course. For me it would be such an honor. I will try to set it up in these two days that I will have much time to do it. So let's see if he will be available, and we'll tee it up.' ___ AP tennis:
