“So, I definitely got a lot of backlash from within the tennis community and the fans. I think it was because it was different. And I'm paying attention to myself. I think people were hoping I would sit in the box and be relatively private and not take advantage of my partner's career. And I came to burn the gun a bit. I was like, 'Well, F-K'. And I've posted anything I wanted.

“I think people think I get annoying sometimes. I definitely have a certain person in Tiktok, especially I'm saying things that are debate enough in places that dig into it and make people mad, but that won't cancel me.”

Riddle explained that Fritz is in favor of her career and is in a friendly competition about who will make more money on tours.

“Taylor was always really good [about public criticism]She said, adding that the outside noise would not have a negative effect on their relationship. “He went to the pro when he was 17 and has been working with it for a long time than I had, so he was very helpful in coaching me through it.

“People write about our relationships with us, and crazy things about me and him,” she continued. “We both really love each other, we have a very healthy relationship.

“He was also really good about me and what I'm doing, and it's interesting too. So many people have that problem with playing tennis and using his career on me, and he's always been encouraging me and supporting me to do it. And he wants to be a double income home. He's like 'Hell yeah'. ”
