"You don't do anything, you live off them": Morgan Riddle gives main misconceptions behind Taylor Fritz 'WAG' lifestyle
ATP
Morgan
Riddle, Taylor Fritz's girlfriend, spoke about her growing fame in the tennis
world and revealed what the former Indian Wells champion thinks about her
social media activity. The 26-year-old influencer began gaining followers after
starting her relationship with Fritz and showcasing behind-the-scenes moments
on the ATP Tour.
Riddle was
a surprise presence in the Netflix series Break Point, featuring Fritz as one
of its protagonists, which significantly boosted her profile, attracting more
than 240 thousand followers on Instagram.
Over time,
Riddle gained more prominence, even though she wasn't initially a tennis fan.
Now, her newfound connection to the sport allows her to travel alongside her
boyfriend. She mentioned that the increasing attention she has received over
time doesn't bother Fritz: “There are some men that would not like the
attention that I get, especially since it’s involving his sport,” she told
Elite Daily.
“Tennis is
his thing — it’s something he’s worked for his whole life. So, when I first
started, I was always checking, “Are you cool with this?” He was so supportive.
He doesn’t mind at all.”
Riddle also
shared her thoughts on the positive and negative aspects of the tennis world: “The
best thing is getting to travel and see the world. Tokyo is probably both my
and my boyfriend’s favourite place to go to. We like the food there, and the
people are so nice,” she said. “The worst thing is trying to stay sane with all
of the travel, jet lag, and exhaustion,” Morgan Riddle added.
“Also, A
lot of people have this idea that if you’re a WAG, you just follow your partner
around. You don’t do anything, you live off of them, you don’t make your own
money, you don’t have your own life. I’ve gotten bullied about it.”
“A lot of
people think that you just coast, but it’s a full-time job — at least in
tennis. Taylor has his own personal team that only works with him. As his
partner, you are a part of that team. I was literally texting his coach this Morning,”
she concluded.

- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
