Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend Morgan Riddle recently shared horrible details of her 2024 NFL Super Bowl experience. She explained that she experienced panic attacks after being harassed by grown men.
The social media influencer narrated her ordeals on social media after attending the Super Bowl game between the Kansas Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday night. Taylor Fritz, World No.9 was not in attendance due to his ongoing preparations to defend his title at the Delray Beach Open.
Morgan Riddle then shared a video on Instagram with her bawling eyes, revealing that she was scared and initially hesitated to make her experience but said it was important. The American No.1’s girlfriend added that the drunk, gross men grabbed and groped and harassed her with catcalls incessantly. She wrote:
There was a father at the game with his son who looked about 10 years old. He used his kid as a vehicle to try to hit on us – and his son, a child, turned to him and said, 'Dad, what are you doing?' how do you think little boys become obnoxious men?
She concluded by urging all her male followers to understand the importance of the situation,
I have male sports fans who follow me and luckily I’ve never experienced something like this with tennis. But I just hope any guy reading this understands the gravity of your words and actions. We’re all just there to try and watch the football game. Getting grabbed by grown men is scary and I’m sensitive.
Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend Morgan Riddle has always been vocal about some hateful and misogynistic remarks often received from male tennis fans. But this is the first time the influencer would come public about an incident like this, showing how painful this must be for her.
Taylor Fritz willing to defend Delray Beach Open title
Taylor Fritz hopes to defend his Delray Beach title as the event’s top seed. The ATP 250 tournament is the American second-tour level competition of the season including the Australian Open.
The World No.9 good run ended in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open. He also helped his country progress to the Round of 16 stage of the Davis Cup. With five ATP titles to his name, the American is the favorite to win the Delray Beach title.
However, Tommy Paul is seeking home success after reaching his career-high ranking of No.12 last October. He and Frances Tiafoe are battling for the Dallas Open title and would fly to Florida for another contest later.
Frances Tiafoe, who won the Delray Beach Open in 2018 is among the favourites to lift the title.
