Team USA has once again been crowned the champion of the United Cup.
The top-seeded team successfully concluded a dominant title run at the mixed teams event with a 2-0 victory over Team Poland on Sunday in Sydney. Following an impressive performance by Coco Gauff, who triumphed over Iga Swiatek, and Taylor Fritz’s narrow victory against Hubert Hurkacz, the United States regained the title it secured at the inaugural United Cup in 2023.
“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 its great to get it a second time.”

Gauff concluded the event with an impressive 5-0 record in singles and marked her significant victory against Swiatek with a celebratory gesture known as the ‘shovel’ celebration. This gesture was emblematic of the strong team spirit that characterized the American camp throughout their campaign. The No. 3 ranked player in the PIF WTA Rankings later elaborated on the significance of this celebration.
