During an interview with GQ, Riddle also discussed how sharing content that included moments with Fritz was difficult, revealing, “I’ve gotten multiple copyright strikes against my account when I post videos of him. In the last three years, the tournaments and the tour have gotten really strict with where you can film and where you can’t. I’m not allowed to have a camera in the box anymore, whereas a couple of years ago, none of those rules were in place.”

The GQ feature also includes solo portraits, with Fritz in a sleek grey outfit and Riddle in a red-and-white striped top. Other shots capture them in cozy forest scenes and casual denim looks. The 28-year-old influencer, who has been in a relationship with Fritz since 2020, has gained a significant following by chronicling her experiences on the ATP Tour while offering glimpses into tennis culture, fashion, and lifestyle.
