Taylor Fritz’s influencer girlfriend Morgan Riddle attended his US Open quarterfinal match against Alexander Zverev on Tuesday, just two months after her falling out with the German at Wimbledon.
Riddle, who has 18 million likes on TikTok, was in the spotlight in July after Zverev complained about the noise coming from Fritz’s box – where she was sitting – during his five-set defeat in London.
And to make matters worse, the tennis star celebrated her boyfriend’s victory by referencing domestic abuse allegations filed against his rival in 2020.
In a quickly deleted Instagram video, Riddle captioned it, “when your man wins for the girls.”
Zverev agreed to a settlement of about $240,000 with his accuser, the mother of his child, in June. However, he has never been convicted of a crime and maintains his innocence.

A few months after her feud with the world No. 4, Riddle took to New York’s Arthur Ashe Stadium to cheer on Fritz during their US Open rematch.
Yet she claims her deleted Instagram video was not a reference to Zverev at all, despite what many of Fritz’s fans thought.
“Regarding my stories yesterday… I immediately deleted them when I realized the misunderstandings and how much the media had blown them out of proportion,” she said in a subsequent video.
‘It wasn’t about anything that happened off the tennis court and there is no animosity between the two.
‘Super proud of T [Taylor] for yesterday’s game, thanks to the crowd for the support and I look forward to tomorrow.’
