United Cup: Coco Gauff and Taylor Fritz guide US to title

Taylor Fritz got the better of Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz in a third-set tie-break to clinch victory for the United States in the United Cup final in Sydney.

The 6-4 5-7 7-6 (7-4) success for the world number four followed a straight-set win for Coco Gauff over Iga Swiatek in the opening women’s singles match.

It is the second win for the US in the mixed team event after they took the inaugural title in 2023.

Gauff, the world number three, claimed a second successive win over Swiatek after beating the former world number one on her way to the WTA Finals title in Riyadh in November.

The Pole, who is now world number two, took a medical timeout at 5-4 down in the second set to have strapping put on her left thigh, which has bothered her all week, and after the 6-4 6-4 defeat she left the court in tears, walking gingerly.

The win continued a perfect week for Gauff, 20, who had won all six of her previous singles and doubles matches at the event as she continues her preparations for the Australian Open, which begins on 12 January in Melbourne.
