What’s better than starting the year with a trophy in hand and with love in the air? Taylor Fritz has started 2025 in style, clinching the United Cup trophy and leading Team USA to glory. While the American tennis star’s powerful serves and relentless determination have won him fans worldwide, it’s his girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, who remains his biggest supporter—on and off the court. At the United Cup final, the influencer was right by his side again, sharing a sweet moment that had fans swooning.
The title clash opened with a high-stakes singles battle between Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek. The 2024 WTA Finals winner delivered a solid performance, defeating Swiatek 6-4, 6-4 to give Team USA a 1-0 lead. Taylor Fritz carried this momentum into his match against Hubert Hurkacz. The Polish star didn’t make things easy, forcing Fritz to dig deep. But the 27-year-old American ATP pro held his nerve to secure the win and seal the title for Team USA.
This victory must have felt even sweeter for Fritz as he had his girlfriend Morgan Riddle cheering for him on the sidelines. Riddle, who has become a staple on the sidelines at Fritz’s matches, didn’t hold back in showing her excitement during the prestigious event. After Team USA’s victory, the influencer took to Instagram to celebrate the big moment. Sharing a story with Fritz proudly displaying his winners’ medal, she wrote, “Not a bad way to start the year 🏆❤️.”

Taylor Fritz has often credited his girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, for playing a key role in his success. Riddle has become a familiar face at major tournaments, supporting Fritz from the sidelines. The pair started dating in 2020, and while Riddle knew almost nothing about tennis at the time, now she’s one of the biggest social media influencers in the tennis world.
Talking about her consistent support, Fritz said, “I think it’s great to just kind of have someone who is with you, supporting you, helping keep you focused.” Further highlighting how she has adapted to his life he said, “As someone who had nothing to do with tennis before, in Morgan’s case, she’s done an amazing job over the years just kind of understanding. She gets it, and she also understands what it takes each week and throughout the year to help me play my best tennis and feel my best. I think that’s a big thing – I just kind of have someone helping me at all times.”
Riddle’s dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed. Last year, The New York Times called her “the most famous woman in men’s tennis.” She’s been a constant source of support for Fritz, even during his toughest moments. One of those moments came at the 2024 US Open, where Fritz fell to Jannik Sinner in the final. It was a historic opportunity, as Fritz was on the verge of becoming the first American to win the title since Andy Roddick in 2003. Despite the heartbreaking loss, Riddle made sure to lift his spirits.
