Taylor Fritz' girlfriend Morgan Riddle opens up on animosity from tennis community: "Think I'm the worst thing to ever happen to the sport"
Tennis News
American star Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend Morgan Riddle has
stated that she has a feeling that people in the tennis community ‘hate’ her.
The 26-year-old has remained in the news for various reasons
but expressed her point of view openly as well. In a recent interview, Riddle
stated that it seems like she is the worst thing that happened to the sport but further
elaborated that she has a lot of connections in the community as well.
"Some people in the tennis community like hate me, hate
me, hate me,” she said. “They just think I’m the worst thing to ever happen to
the sport which is fine. But then, on the other side of it, I do have a very
strong community in the tennis community.
“Like, it definitely took time but I also think because I
was the first person to offer that perspective of the tour and it was something
that now I know people had just been waiting for, maybe they didn’t even know
that they wanted that side of it.
"But I have a great community in the tennis community.
There’s so many of them that are so supportive of everything that I do. And me
working with the tournaments on an official capacity, that was a big deal for a
partner to do that. And people were so supportive of it in a lot of ways. It’s
great.
"I don’t know if we’re going to do it again this year
just because, we would have to figure out a different angle for it but we’re
talking about it so we’ll figure out something for this year. So, I’m excited.”
Fritz won the Delray Beach Open in Florida today after beating Tommy Paul in the final 6-2, 6-3.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- 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
