MORGAN RIDDLE dazzled as boyfriend Taylor Fritz looked frazzled – against Wimbledon’s fastest ever server.
The social media sensation stayed cool in a pink outfit while the fifth seed felt the heat against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard on No.1 court.

Riddle, 27, has amassed 437,000 Instagram followers as she follows Fritz around the world’s top tournaments.
The influencer won more fans in her short, sleeveless dress at SW19.
But even Riddle ‘s effortless elegance was mixed with anxiety at times – as 6ft 8ins Perricard won the first two sets via tie-breaks.
And she understandably appeared downbeat on occasions, even though the former world No.4 battled back into contention.
Perricard confirmed he was a massive threat by destroying the tournament’s speed record for serves.
The Frenchman whistled down one torture scorcher at 153mph.
That’s significantly quicker than the previous best – a 148mph delivery from fellow American Taylor Dent 15 years ago.
Riddle watched on, concerned but otherwise restrained.

She’s been an avid globe-trotter with Fritz from soon after they started dating in 2020.
Riddle’s LinkedIn describes her as a self-employed content creator.
Fritz certainly needed to conjure up something extra creative himself.
Perricard powered on and had the ascendancy in a high-quality fourth-set tie-break.
But Fritz nicked it to thrill the late-night crowd by taking the opening-round match all the way.
