Taylor Fritz thought he was in for a calm, cozy night in Tokyo – a simple off-season date with his girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, after a long year on the ATP Tour. The neon-lit streets of Tokyo were buzzing, the air crisp, and Fritz, like any trusting boyfriend, followed Morgan without a hint of suspicion. After all, a bar in Tokyo? Sounds normal enough. But little did he know, Morgan had crafted a surprise – a plot twist – worthy of a travel-comedy series.

As the couple stepped into what Fritz assumed was an ordinary bar, he held up. Instead of soft music and dim lights, he was greeted by the sight of towering, muscular women flexing proudly, patrons cheering, and an atmosphere that could rival a pro-wrestling weigh-in. This wasn’t just any spot – it was Tokyo’s famous ‘muscle girl‘ bar.

Morgan’s face lit up with mischief. Fritz, on the other hand, was dumbstruck. She recently shared a video clip on her IG handle with a humorous caption.

“Dw they loved it 🫠.”

In the video, Fritz looked a bit amused when he was lifted off the ground by a muscular bartender, quite effortlessly too. But the moment that the internet cannot get enough of came right after.

“Telling our boyfriends we’re going to a ‘bar‘ in tokyo, but it’s actually the muscle girl bar.”

Her playful caption didn’t quite give a hint about what was waiting for Taylor Fritz. Still holding out in the middle of the bar, Taylor Fritz watched a palm come towards his cheek, in hopes that the blow wouldn’t land. But lo and behold, the slap dramatically landed on Fritz’s cheek. Is this what they call a ‘tight slap’? But Fritz is known for being a sport. He took the whole incident in jest.

For a player who has spent the season battling the world’s toughest opponents, it turns out his most unexpected challenge came off the court – courtesy of his girlfriend and a Tokyo bartender built like a superhero. However, talking about challenges, Morgan Riddle got off to a rocky start in this trip.

Just a few days ago, “the most famous woman in men’s tennis” shared a screenshot of her search history, and it clearly suggested that she had perhaps had food poisoning that required medical attention. She even added a sarcastic caption to it.

“Japan has been great so far.”

But this wasn’t the first time she had traveled to the ‘Land of the Rising Sun.‘ Riddle loves traveling with Taylor Fritz on the Tour, and she visited the country last year, also during the Tokyo Open.

Their perfect chemistry leaves fans in awe. It even makes many wonder if they’ve been together for an eternity or more. However, beyond his clinical precision on court, Morgan Riddle exposes this side of him to the tennis world now and again, to iterate that the master is still human – her human.

Tennis world reacts to Taylor Fritz and his girlfriend’s Japan trip

Taylor Fritz thought he was simply signing up for a peaceful off-season getaway in Tokyo with his girlfriend, Morgan Riddle. But somewhere between the bright city lights and Morgan’s mischievous grin, the tennis star unknowingly became the main character of a video that would leave the tennis world in splits.

Some of the comments that lined up beneath the video were from known on-court faces. Jessica Pegula commented, “This is incredible lol.”

Madison Keys also chimed in. “I’m crying. This is so good.”

Even Asia Muhammed couldn’t hold her laughter. “Hahahhahah.”

Desirae Krawczyk could not contain her disbelief – “Omg Morgan. 😂😂😂.”  

However, the most interesting comment about their trip came from renowned tennis journalist Ben Rothenberg. He dropped a very interesting comment on the reel featuring their recent visit to the muscle girl bar.

“Hard to overstate how much more enjoyable of an off-season this Fritz Tokyo trip looks like than all those Maldives pilgrims.”

Morgan Riddle is an influencer in the tennis world without even having to try too hard. Her posts garner most engagement from friends and fans alike. She once even received a special request from Grigor Dimitrov’s girlfriend, Eiza Gonzalez, who, after seeing a post where Riddle fed food to a deer, wrote, “Bring me one.” 

Riddle was once asked how she’s able to tolerate Taylor Fritz, since they spend an exorbitant amount of time together.

“We travel so well together, which people always ask me, ‘How do you guys spend that much time in a hotel room together without wanting to rip each other’s heads off? But we get along really well, which is why I think we’ve been able to make it work the last couple of years.”

For a man whose aces have topped the charts this year, Morgan Riddle definitely exposes a non-formidable side of him to his peers. What are your thoughts about this beautiful couple? Let us know in a comment.
