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 initially felt the heat against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard on No1 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 on Monday evening.
But even Riddle’s effortless elegance was mixed with anxiety – when 6ft 8in Perricard won the first two sets via tie-breaks.
And she understandably appeared downbeat on occasions, before former world No4 Fritz battled back brilliantly to take an epic day-one match all the way to five sets.
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 profile describes her as a self-employed content creator.
And Fritz certainly needed to conjure up something extra creative himself.
Perricard was close to taking the match 3-1 as he had the ascendancy in the fourth set tie-break.
But Fritz nicked it to thrill the late-night crowd by taking the opening-round clash to a fifth – to be finished on Tuesday, much to the American’s annoyance.
Fritz raged as the match was postponed with 40 minutes to go until the cut-off, but must come back tomorrow and look to finish the job.
