'Claylor' is a play on Taylor Fritz's name combined with clay. Earlier during the clay-court season this year, the American revealed the importance of performing well on clay. He mentioned the amount of high-level tournaments played on clay courts and desired a better showing.

His return to clay following his quarterfinal loss against Casper Ruud in the French Open was triumphant. Fritz and Riddle celebrated by visiting his 'favorite place', L'entrecote Champs Elysees, a restaurant located at Rue de Marignan in Paris, France. Riddle posted about the visit on her Instagram story.
