All About Taylor Fritz’s Son Jordan Fritz (and How the Tennis Pro Embraced Fatherhood at 19).

Tennis pro Taylor Fritz became a dad to son Jordan at 19 years old

Taylor Fritz is competing at the 2025 US Open, but no matter where his matches are, his son Jordan Fritz comes first.

“It’s all about managing my time, the best I can, to where I can FaceTime, call, just talk to him as much as possible,” Taylor told Palm Springs Life in February 2025. “I also make sure those times when I am at home, we spend as much time as possible together.”

The Break Point subject became a dad in January 2017 when he welcomed Jordan with his then-wife Raquel Pedraza. At the time, Taylor was a 19-year-old rising star in the tennis world, but since then, he has won 10 ATP Tour singles titles.

Early on in his parenthood journey, he credited Pedraza for her help as he tried to juggle the sport and their family. “My life really hasn’t changed too much because of how my wife has really stepped up,” he said in a post-championship press conference in March 2017. “She’s really just doing everything she can for me and for my tennis.”

Still, the 2022 Indian Wells Masters winner discovered a lot about himself through being a father. “I learned one, not to care, and two, just to handle my business and be as productive as possible,” he told Haute Living in August 2023.

Taylor continued, “I do have more things to manage now, and I definitely had to grow up fast, but it was always going to be like that anyway. I was traveling the world when I was 17 to play tennis.”

Here’s everything to know about Taylor Fritz’s son, Jordan Fritz.

Jordan was born in 2017

Taylor married his high school sweetheart Pedraza — who was also a pro tennis player — in 2016, per Interview magazine. They welcomed their first and only child together, Jordan, in January 2017.

The 2022 Wimbledon Championships quarterfinalist quickly returned to work and leaned heavily on Pedraza to care for things at home.

“I feel like everything is the way it was before with all the other guys that are my age,” he said in a press conference about how his peers treated him after having his son.

Taylor added, “People can think that maybe I’m spending less time on the tennis court or less time in the gym and that’s perfectly fine.”

Jordan has taught Taylor different lessons
Since becoming a father, Taylor has learned to balance his personal and professional lives better.

“I think [having a kid] taught me a lot of lessons about time management,” he told Haute Living. “I have to juggle all these different things.”

The athlete also came to terms with an important lesson about being confident in himself and his choices.

“It also taught me to not care so much about other people’s opinions,” he said. “There was a lot of talk when I was younger. I was always very concerned about how my career would be affected.”

His parents divorced when he was 2

Taylor and Pedraza divorced in December 2019, according to Interview magazine. At the time, Jordan was 2 years old, and though Pedraza was a pro tennis player in the past, she lives a more private life now with their son.

For his part, Taylor is dating Morgan Riddle, an influencer who uses her TikTok platform to “make tennis cool again.”

“It’s been great,” he told PEOPLE about their relationship in 2023. “I feel like we’re very much a team, and it’s been great to have.”
