Taylor Fritz is set to begin his 2026 US Open campaign against 18-year-old American Darwin Blanch. The No. 9 seed is looking forward to ending a 23-year wait for a men’s Grand Slam champion, while his off-court life is also drawing plenty of attention ahead of his first-round match in Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Days before the year’s final Grand Slam, the American tennis star was spotted with social media influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli in New York City on August 24, adding to the romance rumors that have surrounded the pair.

Speculation about the 28-year-old ATP pro and Giannulli began earlier this summer. In May, reports claimed the two were seen together at The Bird Streets Club in Los Angeles, where they reportedly appeared “cozy.”
Last month, reports said Fritz brought Giannulli as his guest to the wedding of fellow American pro Tommy Paul and Dairy Boy founder Paige Lorenze. And a week ago, they were also spotted together in Manhattan, their first public appearance since May.
However, representatives for both stars have not publicly commented on their relationship status.
As Fritz begins his 2026 US Open campaign at Arthur Ashe Stadium, attention will also turn to his player box. Fans will be watching to see whether Giannulli makes an appearance courtside to support him.
Both Fritz and Giannulli have recently gone through high-profile breakups. Fritz dated influencer Morgan Riddle for six years before they split in April. Riddle also became a major name in the tennis world after her viral TikTok campaign to make “tennis cool again.”

On April 25, Riddle appeared to address the breakup by posting an Instagram photo of herself wearing a “World’s Best Ex-Girlfriend” T-shirt. She was also present at the first-round match between Novak Djokovic and Mariano Navone.

Giannulli also has a history of highly publicized relationships. She was linked on and off with actor Jacob Elordi, with dating rumors first emerging in late 2021. They broke up in August 2025 but briefly reconciled the following month when she supported him at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of his film Frankenstein. They officially ended their relationship by October. Elordi has since been linked to Kendall Jenner after they were spotted at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party and Coachella.
