Sydney, Jan 5: Taylor Fritz and Coco Gauff produced pulsating singles victories to lead the United States to its second United Cup title in three years on Sunday night, handing Poland its second consecutive runner-up finish in the process.
Fritz labelled the 20-year-old as the team’s MVP and said she made the final easy for him.
“It’s amazing. It’s almost more fun to win the team events because you have people to celebrate with afterwards,” said Fritz.
“Coco made it easy for me as the MVP on the team; it definitely helped my job a lot and it’s great to get it a second time.”
After Gauff won an engrossing 6-4, 6-4 opening singles against Iga Swiatek that had Ken Rosewall Arena rocking, Fritz delivered the encore with a 6-4, 5-7, 7-6(4) win over Hubert Hurkacz in a serve-dominated match that featured 30 aces and just three break points, according to ATP Stats.
Beginning their campaign in Perth, where the top seeds won Group A, tournament MVP Gauff and Fritz brought to the United Cup the form that led them to banner seasons in 2024, culminating with Gauff winning the WTA Finals Riyadh (where she also defeated Swiatek) and Fritz finishing runner-up at the Nitto ATP Finals.
