In the buildup to the 2025 Australian Open, Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle sat down for an interview with Harper's BAZAAR Australia. Here, she was asked about her favorite places and experiences in the country. In her response, Riddle named iconic Melbourne art museum National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) along with a few places to eat, drink and shop, saying:

"I adore the NGV — every time I’ve come I’ve been impressed with the curations they have and the temporary exhibits. Last year, the museum had a temporary exhibit titled “My Mommy” by Japanese artist Yoko Ono and I’ve never had an art piece make me cry like that. I also always recommend Hikari for matcha and Incu for shopping. For dinner recs — this year I tried Maison Bâtard and Reine & La Rue and both were wonderful."

On the tennis front, Taylor Fritz, the World No. 6 in men's singles, is set to return to Australia soon for the start of the 2026 tennis season. The American will represent the USA at the United Cup before beginning his preparations for the 2026 Australian Open.
