Taylor Fritz’s influencer girlfriend Morgan Riddle attended his US Open quarterfinal showdown with Alexander Zverev on Tuesday, just two months after his fallout with the German at Wimbledon.
Riddle, who has 18 million likes on TikTok, was at the centre of controversy in July after Zverev complained about noise coming from the Fritz box, where she was sitting, during his five-set loss in London.
And to add insult to injury, the tennis WAG celebrated her boyfriend’s victory by seemingly referencing the domestic abuse allegations made against her rival in 2020.
In a quickly deleted Instagram video, Riddle included the caption: “when your man beats the girls.”
Zverev agreed to pay about $240,000 in a settlement in June with his accuser, the mother of his child, but has not been convicted of any crime and maintains his innocence.

A few months after his fallout with the world No. 4, Riddle took a seat at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York to cheer on Fritz in their US Open rematch.
However, he has since claimed that his deleted Instagram video was not actually a reference to Zverev, despite what many Fritz fans believed.
“Regarding my stories from yesterday… I took them down as soon as I realized the misunderstanding and how exaggerated they had become by the media,” she said in a later video.
‘It wasn’t about anything that happened off the tennis court and there’s no bad blood between anyone.
‘I’m very proud of T (Taylor) for yesterday’s game, thanks to the crowd for the support and I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s game.’
