Morgan Riddle has snapped back at critics who suggest that she has been \u2018capitalising\u2019 on the tennis career of her partner, Taylor Fritz.<\/p>\n
Riddle<\/a> has been dating the 2024 US Open<\/a> men\u2019s singles finalist since 2020, and has featured in Netflix\u2019s \u2018Break Point\u2019, with their close relationship evident to observe in the tennis series.<\/p>\n The 27-year-old is best known as an influencer on Instagram and TikTok, amassing over one million followers across the two platforms through the sharing of her fashion, beauty, and travel content.<\/p>\n \u201cI think historically, a lot of the older wives and partners on the [tennis] tour have been very private, heads down, in the box,\u201d said Riddle on \u2018The Squeeze\u2019 podcast with Tay Lautner.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re there to cheer on their partner and they didn\u2019t have super public personas.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know if this is true, but I\u2019ve been told by people on the tennis tour that when I was first posting TikTok [videos] a couple of years ago, there was a clique of older wives on the tour and they would send my videos in their group chat and just make fun of me.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, I definitely got a lot of backlash, both from within in the tennis community and the fans \u2014 I think because it was different. And I\u2019m calling attention to myself.<\/p>\n \u201cI guess people expected me to sit in the box, be relatively private and not capitalize on my partner\u2019s career. And I kind of came in guns blazing. I was like, \u2018well, f\u2013k that,\u2019 and posted whatever I wanted to.<\/p>\n \u201cI think people think I\u2019m annoying sometimes. I definitely have a certain person on TikTok specifically where I kind of feed into it and say things that are controversial enough where it will piss people off but it won\u2019t get me cancelled.\u201d<\/p>\n Emma Raducanu leaves Instagram weeks after stalking ordeal<\/a><\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz asked if world No 1 ranking is on his mind with Jannik Sinner banned<\/a><\/p>\n Despite the fame of her partner, Fritz has been highly-supportive and coached Riddle on how to handle the attention that comes with such a high-profile relationship.<\/p>\n She went on to state that: \u201cTaylor has always been really good [about public criticism]. He went pro when he was 17 so he has dealt with that for so much, much longer than I had. So he was very helpful in coaching me through that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPeople write crazy things about us and our relationship, and about me and about him\u201d she continued. \u201cBoth of us are united in the fact of like, ok we really love each other, we have a very healthy relationship, nothing that anyone says online is going have any sort of effect on that.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s also been really good about being super defensive of me and what I\u2019m doing. That\u2019s what interesting too is that so many people have such a problem with me capitalizing on tennis and his career and he has always encouraged me and supported me to do it. And he wants to be a dual-income household. He\u2019s like \u2018hell yeah.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Taylor Fritz\u2019s most recent match was a 7-5, 6-4 defeat to the in-form Jack Draper at the Masters 1000 event in Indian Wells.<\/p>\n The post Taylor Fritz\u2019s partner, Morgan Riddle, responds to accusations of \u2018capitalising\u2019 on the American\u2019s fame<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Morgan Riddle has snapped back at critics who suggest that she has been \u2018capitalising\u2019 on the tennis career of her partner, Taylor Fritz.
