In a remarkable display of skill and teamwork, Coco Gauff and Taylor Fritz propelled the United States to victory in the United Cup final, defeating Poland 2-0 in Sydney. Gauff, the world number three, initiated the triumph by overcoming second-ranked Iga Swiatek with a score of 6-4, 6-4 in the opening singles match. This win marks the second title for the US in three years, reaffirming their dominance in this mixed team event.

Fritz followed Gauff's lead, battling through a tense third-set tie-break to claim a hard-fought victory over Hubert Hurkacz (6-4, 5-7, 7-6). Gauff expressed her joy, stating, “It’s great to win a team event, the only team event I’ve ever won, so I’m super excited.” With a clean slate, Gauff did not drop a single set throughout the tournament.

The young American, now on a winning streak leading into the Australian Open, is brimming with confidence. “I have the belief that I’m one of the best players in the world and when I play good tennis I’m hard to beat,” she remarked after securing her second consecutive win over Swiatek.

In contrast, Poland faced disappointment for the second consecutive year as runners-up, having lost to Germany in the previous edition. Gauff and Fritz’s victories not only highlight their individual talents but also set a promising tone for the upcoming tennis season.
