Coco Gauff Leads US to United Cup Victory

Coco Gauff led Team USA to victory in the United Cup final against Poland by defeating Iga Swiatek 6-4, 6-4, marking her second consecutive win over the former world number one. Gauff's performance, which lasted 1 hour and 51 minutes, showcased her powerful groundstrokes and tactical consistency, earning her the title of player of the tournament. Taylor Fritz then secured the championship for the U.S. with a hard-fought 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (4) win over Hubert Hurkacz, clinching the United States' second title in three years. Poland, having lost in the final for the second consecutive year, fell short once again after succumbing to Germany last year.
