Tue Jul 08 14:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Fritz Advances to Wimbledon Fourth Round, Girlfriend Riddle Embraces “WAG” Title
**London, UK** – American tennis star Taylor Fritz battled through a tough four-set match against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Saturday to secure a spot in the fourth round of Wimbledon. Despite two medical stoppages to address a bloody elbow, Fritz ultimately prevailed 6-4, 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-1.
“It’s getting pretty annoying having to stop all the time,” Fritz admitted after the match, acknowledging the disruptions to his opponent. He attributed his grit to determination, vowing to win more points.
The three-hour, 12-minute victory sets up a showdown with Jordan Thompson for a place in the quarterfinals, a stage Fritz has reached in two of his last three Wimbledon appearances.
Off the court, Fritz’s girlfriend, social media influencer Morgan Riddle, is embracing the “WAG” (Wives and Girlfriends) label while carving her own path. In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Riddle discussed her perspective on the term. “I’ve always embraced the WAG thing. I knew no matter what my feelings were on it, that’s what I’d be called – so I never wanted to attach anything negative to it,” she said.
Riddle has been actively engaging with her 450,000 Instagram followers, sharing Wimbledon-themed content, including a recent post featuring a white dress and the caption “one serve, two serve.” The post garnered positive attention from fans.
Riddle emphasized that she is not simply defined by her relationship with Fritz. “People think of a WAG as someone who follows their partner around without having their own life,” she explained. “I came in swinging, really making my own name in this space, and am trying to actively contribute to the sport. I know for a fact that I have brought a younger demographic to the game, and a younger, female-led audience too. I’ve made it more welcoming for female fans.”
Fritz is scheduled to face Thompson on Monday morning and the match will be broadcast on ESPN.
