Fritz and Gauff Soak Up Rottnest Island Vibes Before United Cup 🎾🌴

Ahead of this year's United Cup, top-seeded Americans Taylor Fritz and Coco Gauff took a break to explore Western Australia's iconic Rottnest Island. 🏝️

The dynamic duo, ranked World No. 4 Fritz and World No. 3 Gauff, enjoyed a leisurely stroll around the island's picturesque Basin, captured adorable selfies with the island's native quokkas 🐾, and indulged in the famous 'Cray Dog' 🦞—a Western Australian-inspired lobster roll that's a local favorite.

Fritz, who was part of the USA championship team at the inaugural event in 2023, is gearing up to defend his title. Gauff, fresh off a stellar 2024 season that saw her win the WTA Finals, is making her tournament debut at the United Cup. 🌟

The excitement kicks off this Friday in Perth and continues on Saturday in Sydney. Both cities will host group-play and knockout quarter-finals, with the semi-finals and final set to take place exclusively in Sydney from January 4 to 5.

Team USA is all set to face Canada in their first match on Sunday evening. Fritz will take on Felix Auger-Aliassime, against whom he currently leads 2-0, while Gauff is set to battle former U.S. Open runner-up Leylah Fernandez. Let’s cheer them on as they aim for victory! 🎉🎾
