Emotional Wimbledon semi-finalist Taylor Fritz opens up on how tip from girlfriend Morgan Riddle ‘turned career around'

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TAYLOR Fritz credited girlfriend Morgan Riddle for helping him "turn his career around" after booking a place in his first ever Wimbledon semi-final. The US Open finalist, 27, defeated Karen Khachanov 6-3 6-4 1-6 7-6 on No1 Court earlier this afternoon.

But in 2021, the American found himself at a crossroads in his career having lost to Alexander Zverev in round three of Wimbledon - consigning him to dropping out of the world's top 40. Years later, girlfriend Morgan revealed a note that Fritz wrote to himself after that match. It read: "Nobody in the whole world is underachieving harder than you, you are so f***ing good but 40 in the world get your f***ing s*** together." Following his win over Khachanov, Fritz was asked by the BBC's Rishi Persad about the note. The No5 seed said: "At the time my ranking was slipping, I was coming back from a surgery. "I felt like I was not playing to the level I should be playing at. "I never wanted... that note was never supposed to be public! "I was ranting to my girlfriend about it, she said 'write it down, look at it'. "So I'm really happy with how I've turned my career around over the last four years or so.

Fritz has been dating the popular influencer since 2020.
