Taylor Fritz beat Hubert Hurkacz 6-4, 5-7, 7-6
(4) at the Ken Rosewall Arena as the Americans secured their
second United Cup title in three years.
“It’s great to win a team event, the only team event I’ve ever
won, so I’m super excited,” the third-ranked Gauff said.
The 20-year-old American won all five of her singles matches at
the United Cup in straight sets, in an ideal build-up for the
Australian Open starting Jan. 12.
It was also the second straight win for Gauff over Swiatek after
victory on her way to winning the WTA Finals event in Riyadh in
November.
“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,” Gauff said after
her latest triumph.
Poland was runner-up for the second straight year after losing
the previous edition to Germany.
