Morgan Riddle has become as much a talking point at the US Open as her boyfriend, world No. 4 Taylor Fritz. The 28-year-old influencer, who met Fritz on a dating app in 2020, has created her own spotlight courtside. Riddle, who is known for bold fashion choices and a mission to make tennis “cool” again, recently drew viral attention for balancing on a stadium railing in heels while cheering for Fritz.

Morgan Riddle’s viral moment came just before Taylor Fritz’s quarterfinal clash against Novak Djokovic. In a TikTok video captioned “U.S. Open final boss,” she perched on a concrete railing with a drink balanced on her head, an internet challenge dubbed “squat and slay.” Two signature Honey Deuce cocktails sat on the railing beside her, adding to the daring scene.

The video quickly passed 300,000 views and has been increasing since, sparking conversation across TikTok and Instagram. While Fritz did not comment on the viral video, he often supports her content on TikTok. “I think what she did was awesome for our sport,” Fritz said when asked about her viral content. “It got a ton of people looking at it. I think you get your typical older fan who may be upset about it. I don’t understand how anyone can get upset about it.”
