Before the ATP finals, Taylor Fritz wanted to treat himself to a few relaxing days with his girlfriend Morgan Riddle (she is an influencer and the most famous "player's wife" in the tennis circus). The young couple went to London, but the peace and quiet there was soon over.

As Morgan Riddle revealed in several Instagram stories, the two were surprised by burglars. "Taylor and I were awakened at 4 a.m.," wrote Riddle. "We noticed that someone was trying to crack the code to our Airbnb and break down the front door."

The influencer continued: "I told Taylor to quickly lock the second lock because the first lock had already been removed." But that was no longer necessary. The burglars were apparently deterred by the noise and fled.

But there was something amusing about the scene: Taylor Fritz grabbed a tennis racket to defend himself. "Of all the weapons in this house, this man would choose a racket," wrote Morgan Riddle with a touch of humor.
