Taylor Fritz’s influencer girlfriend Morgan Riddle beams at Wimbledon as boyfriend matches greatest Grand Slam finish

DELIGHTED Morgan Riddle celebrated Taylor Fritz equalling his best performance at a Grand Slam.

And he did it in style by coming from two sets down to beat No4 seed Alexander Zverev.

Fritz prevailed 4-6 6-7 6-4 7-6 6-3 in three-and-a-half hours under the Centre Court roof.

It is the third time in his career that he has come from two sets down to win in five sets – with one of the other occasions against Zverev’s brother Mischa in 2018.

And Fritz’s girlfriend Morgan went through all the emotions as she watched on from the player’s box.

The glamorous influencer tried to keep it positive as Zverev claimed the opening two sets – two days on from damaging his knee during his win over Cameron Norrie.

But she continued to support her man and cheered Fritz on to the very end – with the BBC TV cameras cutting to her throughout.

Riddle – who has 313,000 Instagram followers – took to her story to share a snap of Fritz in action during the match before uploading a reel toasting his epic victory, captioning the post: “When your man wins for the girls.”

And tennis fans watching the drama unfold were giving plenty of love to Morgan, who rocked a navy jacket over a short white dress and grey heels.

One said: “Fritz is in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon! Thanks to Morgan Riddle to support her from crowd.”

A second typed: “Yeeee!!! Morgan Riddle is through and we get to see more Wimbledon-inspired outfits.”

A third added: “Thank you Morgan Riddle. This wouldn’t be possible without you.”

Another wrote: “Morgan Riddle your boyfriend is amazing thank you for his service.”

A fifth commented: “Thank you Morgan Riddle for what you do for society.”

A sixth replied: “Morgan Riddle you will always be my favourite tennis Wag.”

And a final user posted: “Morgan Riddle is getting more screentime than Taylor Fritz during his own post-match interview.”

Grumpy Zverev, though, took a dig at some members of Fritz’s box for their antics during the match – possibly aiming his comments at Riddle.

The German moaned: “His team is extremely respectful.

“I think there’s some other people that maybe are in the box that are not maybe from the tennis world, that are not maybe from particularly watching every single match. They were a bit over the top.

“He fought back from two sets to love, so they’re obviously all excited, very pumped up.”

Before meeting Fritz on a dating app during the pandemic, Morgan did not have much tennis knowledge.

But she has since been dubbed “Lady Wimbledon” by supporters – but also has shown she slots right in at Royal Ascot, too.

Morgan told SunSport during last year’s Championships: “I didn’t know anything about tennis before I met Taylor.

“It’s really fun watching Taylor during the matches because now I understand what’s happening during, which is a big plus and definitely makes it more enjoyable but it can be nerve-wracking.

“Usually I love when Taylor is winning, that’s usually the best part of Wimbledon.

“But I love the strawberries and cream, the fans and how everyone is such so happy and in such a good mood especially when it’s nice outside. It’s enjoyable.”

Riddle rose to fame as she featured in the tennis Netflix documentary Breaking Point covering the 2022 season.

During that year, Fritz reached the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time at Wimbledon.

He backed that up by getting to the final eight at the 2023 US Open and this year’s Australian Open.

So his run at Wimbledon 2024 matches his greatest performance at a Major.

And Fritz will be confident of beating Lorenzo Musetti on Wednesday to book his place in a maiden Grand Slam semi-final, which would pocket him a tidy £715,000.
