Morgan Riddle's Win for the Girls

last night wi and crowned a new male Champion but all anyone can talk about is US influencer Morgan riddle and her alleged Feud with world number four Alexander sparv now this is a juicy one Amy can you give us a breakdown first on who Morgan is yeah so Morgan is huge on Tik Tok she's got over 500,000 followers and her boyfriend is world number 12 Taylor fredz and Morgan shares a lot of her life on the tennis tour online she also shares a lot about her Fashion on Instagram so she is known for wearing a lot of tennis core she's recently been in British Vogue because her outfits are that iconic yeah well it surprised me to read that apparently she and Taylor met on reaya oh I was wondering how they met yeah and they have been dubbed the new Posh and Becks of the sporting World they also made headlines for appearing on the new Netflix series breakpoint so they were a big feature on that now last week Morgan's boyfriend and Taylor Fritz made it to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon and he was up against well number four Alexander Zev now during the Center Court match Morgan shared an Instagram story of Taylor alongside the caption cheer loud ladies this seems quite an uous but it's not so innocuous when you know zev's backstory so just last month the world number four settled a domestic abuse case out of court with his former partner and prosecutors alleged he pushed his former partner against a wall and choked her during an argument now Zev denied the allegations however he agreed to pay fines of around $162,000 to the state and around $544,000 to charity now Morgan's boyfriend ended up coming from two sets to love down to win the quarterfinal match and when it came time to shake hands SZ gave Fritz a lengthy ear bashing which led to many postmatch questions now s told the assembled media that his issue wasn't with fritz or his two coaches it was with Fritz's support group AKA Morgan he said they are not maybe from the tennis world they are not maybe used to watching every single match they were a bit over the top now Zev didn't actually mention Morgan's Instagram post of the press instead it appears he's trying to claim that he was offended by Morgan's cheering in the crowd so Zev came out later and said that he had injured his knee during the game and he thought it was a bit off how everyone was cheering so much for Fritz when it was clear that the outcome of the match had a lot to do with his injured knee and not actually the fact that he was playing badly yeah now Morgan has become almost a feminist icon in this moment because following the press conference she appeared to stoke the fire by sharing another Instagram story this time of her holding a drink with the caption when your man wins for the girls I don't think I could love her anymore because I became upset obessed with Morgan during the Australian Open and I've been following her ever since and she's just such a legend it's quite funny because she in Vogue she recently spoke about how she doesn't mine the term wag she's almost reclaimed it in a way she's also known as the Barbie doll of the tour and she just sort of says owns it and says I don't mind being called that that's what I feel like I am there was a recent Tik Tok she did where she said she was wearing a Barbie core inspired outfit just to piss the tennis fan off like the male tennis fans and it did piss them off in fact now a lot of people were like you Sophie they were celebrating Morgan's post however Morgan has since come out and blamed the media for overblowing her social media post so she said regarding my stories yesterday I took them down as soon as I realized the misunderstanding and how blown out of proportion they had become by the media they were not about anything that's happened off the tennis court and there's no bad blood between anyone super proud of t for the match yesterday thank you to the crowd for the support and looking forward to tomorrow what do you think about the backflip I love a bit of Wim and drama I do think she's been forced to come out and water down these comments by her boyfriend's team because these comments were clearly directed as swear but it's not a good look when you're on the tour as a player to have your girlfriend causing beef in the media yeah and I think the fact that Taylor Fritz was then going on to play in the semifinals they didn't want this story to continue and they didn't want it to overshadow this semi-finals appearance I mean he lost in the semi-final match if he had won he would have gone on to play against Novak jovic in the final it would have been absolutely huge for his career I wonder if it caused any tension between Morgan and Taylor as well I also think that maybe there was a legal threat from sev's Team I don't I don't think so I think that tennis is such a gentleman Sport and I think it's not a good look if you're on the tour to be making enemies of other play is and I mean pointed out he's like I don't have a problem with Taylor Fritz but he pointed out his issue was clearly with Morgan do you think it also comes down to the tennis players not liking the fact that a player's wife or girlfriend is taking attention away from them and attention away from the sport well possibly I mean he might actually be concerned about the power that she holds within the social media world I mean he's world number four he should be better known than her but the reality is that there probably were more people queuing up to get a photo with Morgan riddle than him
