Taylor Fritz has spoken about his admiration for actress Sydney Sweeney whilst appearing to golf, drawing attention amid speculation about his personal life following the end of his relationship with influencer Morgan Riddle. The comments have generated interest largely because of the timing, coming after Fritz's high-profile split earlier this year, and because he has notably avoided ruling out future relationships with influencers, unlike his ex-girlfriend.

Fritz and Riddle, who dated for six years, ended their relationship in April, after which Riddle publicly stated she was finished dating athletes. Fritz has made no similar declaration and was previously linked romantically to an influencer, though those rumours were later denied. The tennis star continues to compete on tour, having recently featured in a men's singles match against Alex Michelsen at the Mubadala DC Open.
