Coco Gauff overpowered Iga Swiatek on Sunday to help the USA win the mixed teams United Cup title by beating Poland in the final.

World No. 4 Taylor Fritz sealed the USA’s second title in the 18-team competition after edging Hubert Hurkacz 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (4) in the men’s singles at Sydney’s Ken Rosewall Arena.

The Americans added to their triumph in the inaugural tournament in 2023, while Poland fell agonizingly short for the second straight year.

All eyes were on the blockbuster women’s singles match, with Gauff and Swiatek having enjoyed unblemished records through to the final.

World number three Gauff had only won two of her previous 13 matches against Swiatek, but claimed a confidence boosting victory at the season-ending Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Finals.
