Despite an incredible two-week run, Taylor Fritz couldn’t achieve his dream of becoming the 2024 US Open champion. The 12th-seeded, the first American man to reach the US Open final since 2006, lost to an impressive Jannik Sinner in three sets (6-3, 6-4, 7-5). Despite the result, Fritz’s girlfriend had a sweet message for him.

“What an amazing week, @taylor_fritz. I could not be more proud of you, and grateful to support you. Your dedication and drive inspires me so much every day. Forever your biggest fan,she wrote on her Instagram story, while sharing a picture of the finalists on the podium.

Riddle and Fritz have been together since 2020. The social media star has not only grown as an influencer, but she has also become one of the most beloved personalities for tennis fans, especially Fritz’s supporters.
