Morgan Riddle, girlfriend of American tennis player Taylor Fritz, has fired back at fans who have bashed her over her lack of enthusiasm during his matches at the 2023 US Open.

The social media influencer was targeted by a comedian named Brett Forte who posted a video on TikTok, where he claimed Riddle cared more about her social media vlogs than Fritz's performance.

"This girl pisses me off. This is the worst girlfriend in tennis. This is Taylor Fritz’s girl. She cares more about her YouTube vlog than she does her boyfriend winning a point," Forte said. "Look my eyes are bloodshot. I am angry. Cause every match she sits there – no emotion, no fight. If you’re not gonna cheer for me in my box, I am not touching yours.”

Furthermore, Forte also slammed Riddle for not showing any emotion during Fritz's quarterfinal loss to Novak Djokovic in New York.

"This is so f*cked up," he continued. "This is that girl again. So, he’s gonna miss this backhand here. Boom. He’s mad, he’s angry. He needs encouragement. He needs anything, but this look right here. Come on! F*cking stand by your man. Oh she’s all upset, cause ‘There goes my vlog.’ F*ck you.”

Fritz also seemed to back Riddle, saying he was pleased with her and his team's encouragement during his matches.
