In a harrowing incident early Saturday morning, Morgan Riddle, girlfriend of ATP World No. 6 Taylor Fritz, recounted a frightening encounter with a potential burglar at their Airbnb in London. The couple was abruptly awakened around 4:00 a.m. by the sound of someone attempting to break into their home.
In a series of Instagram stories, Riddle detailed the alarming situation, revealing that the secondary lock on the front door had been removed, raising their concerns for safety. In a moment of instinctive protection, Fritz grabbed the nearest object available—his tennis racket—to defend against the intruder.
Riddle humorously noted, “Of all potential weapons in the house, this man grabs a racket,” highlighting the surreal nature of the situation. While the couple was undoubtedly rattled, they managed to stay safe, with Fritz’s quick thinking likely preventing what could have been a more dangerous confrontation.
Riddle, a popular social media influencer known for sharing glimpses of her life with Fritz, expressed gratitude for his decisive action during the scare. Fans have rallied around the couple, praising Fritz for his bravery while also empathizing with the shock of the incident. As they navigate the aftermath, the couple’s experience serves as a reminder of the importance of safety, even in seemingly secure environments.
