Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend reignites Wimbledon row after US Open win over Alexander Zverev

Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend once again boasted on social media of the tennis star’s victory over Alexander Zverev, this time at the US Open.

Social media influencer Morgan Riddle sparked a feud during Wimbledon when Fritz defeated Zverev in a five-set bonanza.

In a video post that was later deleted, she uploaded a short clip with the caption: “When your man wins 4 the girls.”

Many considered it a dig at Zverev, who agreed to pay his former partner around £180,000 after domestic abuse allegations.

The German has always maintained his innocence over the charges and was never convicted, denying any wrongdoing.

And Riddle was at it again on Monday as Fritz triumphed over Zverev once more at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in another brilliant clash that finished 7-6 3-6 6-4 7-6.

The 26-year-old has never progressed beyond the quarter-final of a Grand Slam before and he now has a chance to go all the way.

This year has been a fine year for the Californian, having reached the last eight of Wimbledon and the Australian Open – though he had never made it further.

Fritz will face Frances Tiafoe in the semi-final of the US Open on Friday, which means that an American will be in the final – the first time since 2006.

He said: “I’ve had a lot of looks at quarterfinals over the last couple of years, and today just felt different.

“It’s cool I’m in the semis. But I very much have the mindset of ‘the job´s not done’.

“A question I got asked pretty much every time I lost in my quarterfinals was, ‘What´s it going to take to go further?’

“And the answer I gave was always: ‘Just keep putting myself in these situations, and I´ll become more comfortable in these situations and get better’.

“That’s definitely what happened now. The quarterfinals didn’t feel like, I don’t know, this big thing to me like it has been, I guess, in the past.”
