Taylor Fritz’s Bloody Dive at Wimbledon Stuns Crowd as Girlfriend Morgan Riddle Goes Viral

JAKARTA, July 3, 2025 — Taylor Fritz delivered one of the standout performances of the 2025 Championships on Tuesday, diving across the grass in a heart-stopping moment that left him bloodied—but victorious in a five-set battle against Argentina’s Francisco Cerúndolo.

The No. 13 seed from the U.S. pulled off a gritty 6-7(5), 7-6(3), 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 victory in just over four hours on Court 12. The turning point came late in the fourth set, when Fritz sprinted forward and dived for a low shot, scraping his right hand badly on the turf. Blood was clearly visible as he continued playing — and fighting — with a bandaged hand.

“At that moment, I didn’t care about the pain,” said Fritz. “I just wanted to stay in the fight.”

The dramatic effort helped Fritz shift the momentum, eventually taking the fourth set and cruising through the fifth to clinch the match.

Morgan Riddle’s Emotional Reaction Captures Internet’s Attention

While Fritz’s bloody dive stole the show, it was his girlfriend Morgan Riddle who delivered the tournament’s most viral moment. As cameras focused on the crowd, Riddle was seen wincing and covering her mouth in reaction to the fall — a moment that quickly spread across social media.

Riddle, a fashion and lifestyle influencer who has become a prominent figure in tennis circles, later posted the clip on Instagram with the caption:

“My heart dropped watching that live. He literally bleeds for this sport.”

Fans responded with admiration for both Fritz’s commitment and Riddle’s heartfelt reaction, calling it a perfect example of the emotion and humanity behind the sport’s most intense moments.

Fritz Sets Sights on Next Round After Heroic Win

With the win, Fritz advances to the third round, where he will face 20-year-old French rising star Arthur Fils. Known for his aggressive game and mental toughness, Fils will pose a tough challenge — but Fritz’s form and mindset suggest he’s ready.

The American is hoping to surpass his best result at the All England Club — a quarterfinal run in 2022. Tuesday’s performance not only bolstered his title hopes but also gave fans a new moment to remember: a player diving, bleeding, and refusing to back down on one of tennis’s biggest stages.
