Taylor Fritz’s influencer girlfriend Morgan Riddle attended his US Open quarterfinal showdown with Alexander Zverev on Tuesday – just two months on from her spat with the German at Wimbledon.
Riddle, who has 18 million likes on TikTok, was at the center of controversy back in July after Zverev complained about the noise coming from Fritz’s box – where she was sat – during his five-set defeat in London.
And to add to the beef, the tennis WAG celebrated her boyfriend’s victory by appearing to reference domestic abuse claims made against his rival back in 2020.
In an Instagram video which was quickly deleted, Riddle included the caption: ‘when your man wins 4 the girls.’
Zverev agreed to pay around $240,000 in a June settlement with his accuser, the mother of his child, but has not been convicted of any crime and maintains his innocence.

A few months on from her feud with the world No 4, Riddle took her seat at Arthur Ashe Stadium, New York, to cheer on Fritz in their US Open rematch.
Nevertheless, she has since claimed that her deleted Instagram video wasn’t actually a reference to Zverev, despite what so many of Fritz’s fans believed.
‘Regarding my stories yesterday… i took them down as soon as i realized the misunderstanding and how blown out of proportion they had become by the media,’ she said in a subsequent video.
‘They were not about anything that’s happened off the tennis court & there’s no bad blood between anyone.
‘Super proud of T [Taylor] for the match yesterday, thank you to the crowd for the support & looking forward to tomorrow.’
