The girlfriend of Taylor Fritz has become one of the most prominent members of the tennis community that actually doesn't hold the racquet daily.
She's become a tennis influencer of sorts bringing a lot of new people to the sport hey boyfriend plays for a living. It's not somethign she wanted to do but it kind of happened by chance. In an exclusive talk to Metro.co.uk, Morgan explained how it all came to be:
"I never had the desire to be an influencer. I was in Australia about this time last year and I was in a job I wasn’t super in love with. I knew I wanted to make a change but I was planning to quit that job and just find a different corporate job. The day that I’d quit, I made a “get ready with me for my boyfriend’s tennis match” on TikTok, just for fun. "
She continued:
"I was trying to pick out an outfit so I just threw up this video not even really thinking. I went to bed that night and when I woke up the next morning in Australia, the video had over a million views. So then the next day I did another one and then I did another one and I’ve kind of been doing that ever since. Then I started getting brand deals and offers from companies for TikTok and I just stuck with it and I didn’t apply for other jobs.’
She also spoke about filming for Netflix's Breaking Point:
"We found out about it, I think like two weeks before the Australian Open last year and then they started filming us at the competition,’ Morgan remembered. It happened really fast. I think at first everyone was kind of on the fence about it. It was just a new weird thing to be seeing Netflix camera crews around tournaments and stuff when the tennis world is so small."
