Before hitting the courts at this year's United Cup, American tennis stars Taylor Fritz and Coco Gauff took some time to explore the stunning Rottnest Island in Western Australia. 🌞
World No. 4 Fritz and World No. 3 Gauff enjoyed a leisurely stroll around the picturesque Basin, capturing fun selfies with the island's adorable native quokkas. 🐾📸 They also indulged in a local favorite, the famous 'Cray Dog,' a delicious Western Australian-inspired lobster roll.
Fritz, who was part of Team USA's championship squad at the inaugural event in 2023, is gearing up to defend his title. Meanwhile, Gauff, who concluded her 2024 season triumphantly by winning the WTA Finals, is making her tournament debut.
The United Cup action kicks off on Friday in Perth and Saturday in Sydney, featuring group-play and knockout quarter-finals in both cities. The excitement builds as the semi-finals and final will be exclusively held in Sydney from January 4 to 5.
Team USA is set to open their campaign against Canada on Sunday evening. Fritz will face Felix Auger-Aliassime, holding a 2-0 lead, while Gauff is scheduled to compete against former U.S. Open runner-up Leylah Fernandez. Let’s cheer on our stars as they represent the USA on the global stage! 🇺🇸🎉
