Following a disappointing US Open exit for her boyfriend Taylor Fritz, Morgan Riddle took to Instagram to look back on another (mostly happy) year cheering on her beau in New York.
Fritz was knocked out in four sets by Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals on Tuesday night, ending another bid for a first Grand Slam.
But Riddle, who's become known for her content creation in recent years, was eager to focus on positive memories as she posted a collage to her Instagram story featuring pictures from the last three US Opens.
In each of the three photos, which were labeled by year, Riddle is seen holding a honeydeuce in the company of friends in the stands.
She also posted to her main Instagram feed on Tuesday night as she promoted a paid partnership with Grey Goose.
'I feel like you're just here for the @greygoose honey deuces …….,' she captioned a photo of her holding the drink.

However, while Riddle seemingly enjoyed her time in New York once again, Fritz's run ended in the last eight as he was defeated 6-3, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4 by Djokovic.
Fritz has seven quarterfinal appearances in Slams since 2022 - including a run to last year's US Open final - but he is still searching for his first Slam title.
He fell to Jannik Sinner in straight sets in last year's US Open final.
And after Tuesday's loss to Djokovic, he rued his performance in the first two sets, in which he missed out on his 10 break point opportunities.
'At the end of the day, that's one of the things that makes, like, the great players great,' he said after the match.
'They win the big points, and that's something that I kind of touched on before the match is, like, I'm going to need to go out and take those points from him. He's not just going to hand them over to me.'

The Californian had been the last American man standing after the likes of Frances Tiafoe, Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton all bowed out - with the latter retiring due to an injury.
Nonetheless, he'll take solace in the fact that he has Riddle by his side, after he credited her for his success earlier this summer as he made the Wimbledon semifinals.
'There's been a pretty constant results and ranking rise since we've been together,' he said in July.
'I think I would have to say she's been a big help to me just kind of keeping me focused, having someone who cares and just pushes you to just do better and do the right things, be healthier.'
Djokovic is now set to face Carlos Alcaraz on Friday night.
