"Giving couples therapy session" "She never got over him bombing serves": Taylor Fritz, girlfriend Morgan Riddle's Abu Dhabi arrival photo amuses fans
A recent photo of Taylor Fritz and Morgan Riddle's arrival in Abu Dhabi ahead of the World Tennis League has evoked hilarious reactions from fans on social media.
Taylor Fritz is coming off a decent 2023 campaign, where he won two ATP titles. His first title came at the Delray Beach Open, and the second at the Atlanta Open. The American also broke into the ATP top 5 for the first time in his career this year, and reached the quarterfinals at the US Open too. He was also a potential alternate at the Nitto ATP Finals.
Fritz has been in a relationship with Morgan Riddle since early 2020. Riddle is a fashion influencer and model, and she often posts about her life on social media while accompanying Fritz on tour.
Recently, the couple checked into the W Hotels in Abu Dhabi ahead of Fritz's participation in the second edition of the World Tennis League. The World Tennis League took to Twitter to notify the fans of their arrival.
One particular photo, featuring Fritz and Riddle waiting in the hotel lobby, sparked hilarious reactions from fans who found it to be out of place.
"This miserable a** picture they uploaded with that cheery captionš," one fan wrote.
Another fan poked fun at an earlier practice session incident involving the pair.
"She never got over him bombing serves at her," they wrote.
One fan deemed the photo to be rather artistic.
"Why miserable? It is an artistic vibe in Hopper style, recalling the Nighthawks!," they wrote.

The story of how Taylor Fritz and Morgon Riddle met
Taylor Fritz and Morgan Riddle have been in a relationship for more than three years. The couple started dating in June 2020 and have amassed a huge fan following since then, thanks in part to Riddle's social media presence. The couple also featured in the Netflix documentary Break Point.
Riddle told PEOPLE magazine that the couple first met on Raya, a members-only dating app. Riddle had just moved to Los Angeles during the COVID-19 pandemic and didn't know anybody, and eventually met Fritz through the app.
"Because it was during Covid, no restaurants were open, no bars were open so we ordered sushi," she said. "We went to his place and I made him watch Midsommar with me, the really messed up horror movie. Why I chose that as my first introduction to a guy, I don't really know. I think I traumatized him a little bit."
