Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle checks into Turin after extended London stay; shows her support as American kicks off ATP Finals with a win
Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle checked into Turin ahead of the American's successful 2024 ATP Finals opener against Daniil Medvedev. The couple had an eventful stay in London before traveling to Italy for the year-end championships.
Fritz and Riddle were victims of an attempted robbery at their Airbnb in London after which the couple shifted to a hotel. They also filmed a hilarious video trading insults while going for a night run.
On Sunday, November 10, the Ilie Năstase Group opened their campaign with Fritz taking on Medvedev. The American's girlfriend Riddle took her Instagram Story to show support for the fifth seed in his second ATP Finals appearance.
Fritz opened his 2024 ATP Finals campaign with a 6-4, 6-3 win over fourth-seed Medvedev. The 27-year-old took advantage of a mistake-laden opening set from the Russian, who hit seven double faults.
Despite a strong response from Medvedev early in the second set, Fritz remained solid, saving all three break points he faced. The American broke in the sixth game, gaining a crucial advantage that he would maintain to secure the win.
After his victory, Fritz reflected on his performance, stating, via ATP Tour:
"It was huge for me, I hit a lot of lines, a lot of spots to start out games. I got out of a lot of service games [with] no pressure. Some of the ones we got tight in, I was either able to grind through the long rallies or get myself some free points."
Taylor Fritz and Morgan Riddle's eventful stay in London
Following Taylor Fritz's Shanghai Masters exit, the American and his girlfriend Morgan Riddle stayed in London in an Airbnb. Riddle, a content creator, revealed their frightening experience of an attempted break-in.
Riddle explained on her Instagram that the couple was woken up during the early morning hours by an attempted break-in but they escaped unharmed as the suspects left without causing trouble. She hilariously revealed that Fritz used a tennis racket as a potential "weapon".
Later, the couple went on a night run in the London streets where they playfully traded insults and revealed many of their secrets.
Fritz and Riddle are now in Turin, Italy, for the 2024 ATP Finals. Fritz will face World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in his next Round Robin match on Tuesday, November 12. Sinner won his opening match against Alex de Minaur 6-3, 6-4.
