The beautiful Morgan Riddle, girlfriend of the young and talented North American player Taylor Fritz, is an influencer on social media, where she talks about her life. "The most famous woman in men's tennis," the New York Times defined her recently.
Taylor and Morgan gave an interview to C Magazine, where they told their love story. Morgan Riddle told: "Taylor and I had been together for two years. I worked at a company and would wake up at 3 a.m. to hold meetings in the hotel room bathtub while he slept.
I got to a point where I said: I can't make my life coincide with yours if our careers aren't somehow intertwined. He wanted me to travel with him full time, since he plays better when I'm there with him, so we said: What do we do?" Morgan wants to use social media in her own way: "I've suffered from anxiety and depression since I was in high school.
People message me a lot about these issues. I can link my favorite lip gloss to my Instagram stories all day, but I want to also feel like what I'm doing is actually having an impact."
Fritz's words
In this couple's interview, Fritz also focused on his career.
In particular, what would he have done if he had not become a top-level tennis player? "In recent years I've become much more interested in fashion. I definitely want to do more to build my brand. I remember telling one of my friends when we were 15 or 16 that if tennis didn't work out I would be a model!" If his girlfriend intends to bring tennis to the world, in the USA the sport has a certain traction, especially recently.
"I feel like tennis in the US is moving beyond the two weeks of the US Open. Coco Gauff is doing that for sure, especially after winning the US Open this year, and for a long time it was Serena and Venus. What they have done for the sport is amazing, but women have been carrying that flag for a long time.
It would be nice to see someone on the men's side win the Grand Slam and fight for first place in the world," said the American player.
