Riddle has garnered tons of followers on both TikTok and Instagram for her fashion, beauty and travel content. She is most known, however, for giving an inside look at the world of competitive tennis and making the sport more appealing to a younger generation.

One of her most viral TikToks explains her mission to make "tennis cool again." She starts the video by saying, "I know tennis is relatively uncool and unknown in America," before giving a breakdown of the sport, including what the annual tennis schedule is, how the rankings work and what it's like for her to attend tennis tournaments around the world.

The video received over 700 thousand likes as well as some backlash, but Fritz was quick to defend his girlfriend.

"I think what she did was awesome for our sport. It got a ton of people looking at it. I think you get your typical older fan who may be upset about it. I don't understand how anyone can get upset about it. I'm the one that's a professional tennis player, I'm the one that does this for a living. I 100 percent agree with everything in that video," Fritz explained during a press conference at the 2022 Indian Wells Masters tournament.

In September 2022, Riddle helped make the sport look cool again when she shared photos on Instagram from the Laver Cup in London, where Fritz's team, Team World, took the win. Her carousel post included an epic shot of the stadium lit up with the words, "World Wins the Laver Cup," a snap of her and Fritz posing with the Laver Cup trophy and a photo of champagne bottles and glasses surrounding the trophy. In her caption, Riddle wrote, "does it smell like underdog in here??? 🥵🏆."

Riddle and Fritz traveled to Italy for the Nitto ATP Finals in November 2022. The couple were invited to the official tournament gala dinner, which they attended in Giorgio Armani suits.

Netflix is currently in the process of filming and producing a series about the world of competitive tennis, which both Fritz and Riddle will appear in. The series, Break Point, is being made by the same team behind the hit show Formula 1: Drive to Survive. In 2022, Riddle confirmed that a Netflix crew had been filming her and Fritz for the show on TikTok and gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at the filming process. She also spoke about the experience briefly on the Hold On to Your Racket podcast.

"It's impossible to know if the show will have the same success as Formula 1 did, but I hope it does … that would just be unreal for the sport," she said. "I think everyone was iffy about it at first, but now the whole tour has warmed up to it."

She continued, "The [Netflix] crew is always around all the time and it's been exciting to have them around. I hope that it reaches the level of popularity that the other show did. It would do really big things for the sport."

In Jan. 2023, Netflix released a trailer for the series, which featured Riddle talking with Fritz.

She's from Minnesota

Riddle now travels the world with Fritz for his tournaments, but before she adopted her globetrotting lifestyle, she spent her childhood in Minnesota and her young adult years in New York City. Riddle opened up about her Midwest roots on the Hold On to Your Racket podcast.

"I grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota, I'm from the Midwest originally," she told hosts Josefina Gurevich and Shravya Pant. "My dream was always to go to New York."

Riddle also explained that tennis was not a big aspect of her life growing up in Minnesota. "I grew up with hockey, my whole family is a hockey family … not a soul from Minnesota plays tennis," she joked, adding that she wasn't really into sports. "I personally was more into theater and speech and debate, not athletic at all," she explained.

She attended Wagner College
