Morgan Riddle recalls a hilarious moment at the Australian Open: 'Chased by a seagull' in Melbourne

Morgan Riddle, the girlfriend of Taylor Fritz, recently shared a humorous memory from her time at the Australian Open, where she was "chased by a seagull" in Melbourne. Riddle has been in a relationship with the World No. 4 since 2020 and has traveled the globe with him during his ATP Tour commitments.

The Los Angeles-based influencer recently posted an Instagram story featuring a video of a seagull perched on a railing, recalling her encounter during a previous visit to Melbourne in a park.

“My first time in Australia a few years ago, one of these chased me in a park in Melbourne, and I still have a visceral reaction every time they get within 10 feet of me. But they're so pretty and remind me of dinosaurs," Riddle captioned her story.

Later, Riddle shared another story showing a wooden bridge, saying, "When the walk has a rickety wooden bridge."

“I’m looking forward to it,” said the World No. 4 in an ATP interview about his third appearance in the tournament. “[The format] has changed a bit over the years. The year we won, we could use our team’s depth a lot more to help us. Now, a lot more things can go wrong for the favorite team when it’s just one [singles] match each and a deciding mixed doubles. So I’m still excited to play.”
