Since appearing on Netflix’s Break Point, American tennis star Taylor Fritz has quickly become one of the most beloved players in the professional tennis world.
While he may be currently ranked as world number nine, Taylor isn’t the only famous face to generate a new fan following, with his girlfriend, social media influencer Morgan Riddle, also becoming one to watch while courtside at major tournaments.

Who is Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend?
Taylor has been in a relationship with social media influencer Morgan Riddle since June 2020.
Speaking on their early relationship, Morgan told People Magazine that the pair first met on the celebrity dating app Raya after she moved to Los Angeles in the middle of the pandemic.
“Because it was during COVID, no restaurants were open, no bars were open, so we ordered sushi. We went to his place and I made him watch Midsommar with me,” she shared.
Touring the world to attend major Grand Slam tournaments, Morgan has frequently shared a behind-the-scenes look into her life with the tennis pro to her 400,000 TikTok followers.
While it may appear to some that the couple’s social media presence simply flaunts their lifestyle, both Morgan and Taylor hope to use their audience to cultivate a new generation of young tennis fans.
“I think that [Taylor] appreciates that we both have this collective goal of bringing it to a younger crowd. He does his part of it and I do mine,” Morgan told People.
“I remember when he and I first met within the first week or two, one of the things that he told me is I just want tennis to be cooler in our generation. It’s just not.”
Broadening their sphere of influence, Taylor and Morgan quickly became fan favourites in the first season of Netflix’s tennis docu-series Break Point.
Following Drive to Survive’s success in cultivating a new wave of fans in Formula 1, Morgan and Taylor hope that the rare glimpse into their daily life will reinvigorate interest in professional tennis.
“It’s impossible to know if the show will have the same success as Formula 1 did, but I hope it does … that would just be unreal for the sport… I hope that [Break Point] reaches the level of popularity that the other show did. It would do really big things for the sport,” Morgan told Hold On to Your Racket.
