This year, US No 1 player Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend Morgan Riddle has been dubbed “the most famous woman in men’s tennis” by The New York Times. Fashionable, gorgeous and loved by the media, Riddle is your typical WAG, and the couple was even referred to as the next “Posh and Becks”.Let’s take a look at this year’s hottest tennis WAGs and what they’ve been up to.

Jet-setting schedules
Travelling the world is all part of the package for a WAG – but definitely a major perk. Fritz’s fashion influencer girlfriend Riddle frequently enjoys the high life, heading to London for Wimbledon earlier this year and, since then, Paris, Geneva, Rome, Athens, and more, as seen in pics posted in 2023 alone.
Aussie tennis pro Nick Kyrgios’ partner Costeen Hatzi is also no stranger to luxury travel, embarking on trips to Greece, the Bahamas, London and Miami in her spare time.
High fashion wardrobes
Designer duds are an essential for many WAGs – especially knowing that they’re likely to be papped wherever they go. Tommy Paul’s girl Paige Lorenze – who has been dubbed the “female Pete Davidson” following her string of romances including Armie Hammer, Morgan Wallen and Tyler Cameron – is a fashion pro, sporting outfits from Self-Portrait, Dolce & Gabbana and Ralph Lauren.Luxury handbags
Novak Djokovic’s childhood sweetheart-turned-wife Jelena has been seen sporting several chic handbags this season, including the classic Chanel flap bag, a monogrammed Louis Vuitton purse, and a white Lady Dior.Tennis WAGs often become “It” girls in their own right, which often calls for an “It” bag to match. Case in point? Sebastian Korda’s girlfriend Ivana Nedvěd was seen rocking a Miu Miu Wander matelassé in one selfie. The coveted accessory is also loved by celebs like Emily Ratajkowski, Gigi Hadid and Sydney Sweeney.

Hatzi, meanwhile, isn’t afraid to flaunt her Louis Vuitton bag collection when she’s on holiday.
A-list circles
With access to some of Hollywood’s most coveted circles, athletes’ partners often get the chance to meet some of their favourite stars. Ayan Broomfield, who’s also a tennis player, posed with Justin and Hailey Bieber at the US Open and worked with Will Smith when she portrayed Venus Williams in the film King Richard. She’s also shared photos with tennis superstar Serena Williams and Pink.Blowing up socials
It’s not unusual for celeb spouses and partners to gain a huge following after making headlines for their relationships. On Instagram, Hatzi has over 180,000 followers; Lorenze has nearly 500,000 fans, and Jelena has over 600,000 loyal supporters.
Supportive cheerleaders
Some of their most touching moments have nothing to do with what they’re wearing or how much money these style mavens have, however.
It’s when the WAGs are seen waiting, arms open, for their men on the sidelines, ready to celebrate their ups (and downs) in the sport that we see the true power of their presence.
