Taylor Fritz has been trending on the internet right now. Touted as the number 1 tennis prospect in the US after Andy Roddick, Fritz has shown significant promise in the ongoing US Open. With several accolades to his name, the 26-year-old has garnered significant interest among the netizens.

Married to Raquel Pedraza in 2016, the duo gave birth to Jordan Fritz, who is seven years old at the moment. Taylor proposed to Pedraza romantically in front of the Eiffel Tower, when the tennis star was just 18. Unfortunately, things did not go well between the two and Taylor Fritz separated from Pedraza in 2019. However, despite their differences, both parents have ensured that they remain true to their duties towards their son. The US tennis star has been in a relationship with Morgan Riddle since June 2020. 

Coming back to Taylor’s performance in the ongoing US Open, the US prodigy has cruised through the initial rounds. In the first round, Taylor beat Argentina’s C. Ugo 7-5 6-1 6-2. The American faced a difficult opponent in M. Berrettini in the second round as after winning the first set 6-3, Taylor had to win a 7-1 tiebreaker for the 7-6 second set before sealing victory with a 6-1 third set. Now, Taylor has set up a third-round date with yet another Argentine, F. Comesana.
