Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, shared a clip expressing her amusement as his last name was revealed as the answer for the popular word game Wordle. The clip captured a lighthearted moment in the couple’s life amid Fritz’s competitive schedule in Tokyo.
How Did Morgan Riddle React To Taylor Fritz’s Wordle Moment?
Fritz and Riddle have been in a committed relationship since June 2020, when they met on the exclusive dating app Raya. Since then, the pair has become one of tennis’s most recognized couples, frequently appearing at major tournaments and sharing glimpses of their lives both on and off the court.
Riddle, a Minnesota native, transitioned from a career in real estate and media marketing into full-time content creation. She earned a notable following for her insights into tennis culture, fashion, and the lifestyle of life on the ATP Tour. Their shared travels often take them to iconic tournaments such as Wimbledon, the US Open, and most recently, the Japan Open in Tokyo.
Fritz is making his seventh appearance at the ATP 500 event in Tokyo, where he previously won the title in 2022. This year, he entered the tournament as the second seed and advanced to the semifinals with commanding wins over Gabriel Diallo, Nuno Borges, and Sebastian Korda.

During his Tokyo campaign, Riddle shared a brief video of the couple enjoying ramen at a local restaurant. With her playful caption, “don’t worry guys we did the wordle today,” she highlighted the coincidence that Saturday’s Wordle puzzle (#1,561) featured FRITZ as the solution.
The word ‘Fritz’ is commonly used as a nickname for Frederick or Friedrich, particularly in German-speaking countries. In a more casual or humorous sense, the term can also refer to a malfunction, especially relating to electronics.
A Look at Fritz’s Upcoming Tokyo Semifinal
On the court, Fritz will take on compatriot Jenson Brooksby in the semifinals in Tokyo. This will be their fourth matchup on the ATP Tour, with the World No. 5 holding a slight 2-1 edge in their head-to-head record. Their first meeting was at the 2021 US Open, where Brooksby won the second round in four sets.
Fritz then won the next two encounters convincingly, defeating Brooksby in the first round at the 2025 Australian Open in straight sets and again at the 2025 Eastbourne final on grass.
