United Cup: US claims second title with win over Poland

The Hindu  

A dominant United States lifted its second United Cup mixed team tournament title in three years after it beat Poland 2-0 on Sunday with Coco Gauff and Taylor Fritz both winning their singles matches. The top seeds in the $10 million tournament that began with 18 nations in contention clinched the trophy when Fritz defeated Hubert Hurkacz 6-4 5-7 7-6 after Coco Gauff outclassed Iga Swiatek 6-4 6-4 in Sydney. Gauff earlier stepped up preparations for the year’s first major that begins next Sunday with a second successive win over world number two Swiatek in a blockbuster showdown that gave fans at the Ken Rosewall Arena their money’s worth. The world number three, who beat Swiatek en route to the WTA Finals title last season, squandered a 2-0 lead in the first set but battled back from there to gain the upper hand in the match as her opponent counted the costs of 19 unforced errors.
