"Targeted attack" - Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle jokes as camera captures her reaction to Marton Fucsovics changing his shirt on court
Taylor Fritz's girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, was recently caught on camera looking at Hungarian tennis player Marton Fucsovics changing his shirt on the court. Riddle later jokingly reacted to the video on her social media.
Fritz and Riddle began dating in June 2020, and have been going strong ever since. Riddle is a constant presence at Fritz's matches, and often expresses her admiration for him.
Her social media posts have also garnered a lot of attention for providing a unique perspective into the behind-the-scenes experience of traveling with a pro.
During Fritz's match against Fucsovics at Indian Wells, the Hungarian made a wardrobe change right on the court. The camera crew then captured the reactions of the spectators, and Riddle in particular was caught smiling and laughing.
The funny moment was shared by Tennis TV across their social media platforms. Morgan Riddle also shared the post on her Twitter account, with a light-hearted comment.
"This was a targeted attack 😭 💀💀," Riddle tweeted.

Defending champion Taylor Fritz makes quarterfinals at Indian Wells 2023
Taylor Fritz's Indian Wells title defense is still going strong. He has gone from strength to strength this week, and is now just three wins away from becoming the first American to defend his Indian Wells title since Michael Chang in 1996-97.
Fritz first defeated Ben Shelton 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the second round, which proved to be his most challenging match so far this week. He then saw off the talented Sebastian Baez in straight sets.
After his win against Fucsovics, Fritz stated that he likes to repeat "winning routines" but emphasized that he isn't necessarily superstitious.
"I believe in repeating winning routines. That's the only superstition that I have and I don't think that's necessarily a superstition. If something is working for you, you should continue doing it. Like meals and whatever routine is working for you," Taylor Fritz said.
The American No. 1 will take on Jannik Sinner in the quarterfinals of the BNP Paribas Open on Thursday.
