Tennis stars Taylor Fritz and Coco Gauff swapped rackets for relaxation ahead of the United Cup, soaking up the sun at Western Australia’s Instagram-worthy Rottnest Island. The duo wandered the island’s iconic Basin, snapped selfies with smiley quokkas 🐾, and devoured local favorite ‘Cray Dogs’ – lobster rolls with a Down Under twist. 🦞
From Champions to Chill Sessions
Fritz, who led Team USA to victory in the 2023 United Cup, and Gauff – fresh off her WTA Finals win – are balancing prep with play. ‘It’s all about good vibes before the competition heats up,’ Gauff shared via Instagram Stories.
