Coco Gauff Wins in the Quarterfinals of the United Cup
PERTH, Australia – After a singles defeat and a social media episode earlier in the week, Coco Gauff proved her worth on the court on Wednesday during the quarterfinals of the United Cup. Gauff defeated Maria Sakkari with a score of 6-3, 6-2, giving the defending champion, the United States, a 1-0 lead over Greece. Taylor Fritz had the opportunity in a singles match against Stefanos Tsitsipas to advance the Americans to the semifinals in Sydney on Saturday. On Monday, Gauff posted on social media in the hope of adding context to her recent comments about American tennis fans. The subsequent match was not favorable for Gauff, who lost the first five games and struggled in a 6-1, 6-7 (3), 6-0 defeat against Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. However, Fritz won his singles match, and Gauff and Christian Harrison combined in mixed doubles to secure first place in Group A and advance the Americans to the quarterfinals.In a night quarter-final match in Perth, Stan Wawrinka, who is playing his farewell tour this year before retiring, was scheduled to lead Switzerland against Argentina. In Sydney, Hubert Hurkacz and Iga Swiatek secured victories in their singles matches, giving Poland a winning 2-0 lead over the Netherlands and a place in the quarterfinals from Group F.I think I was hitting the ball well today, and when that happens, my movement on the court is also good. Generally I know it will be a good day.
