Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek are on a collision course for United Cup glory after the USA and Poland won their respective semi-finals on Saturday in Sydney.
Swiatek beat Elena Rybakina to help last year’s runners-up Poland see off Kazakhstan and they were joined in Sunday’s final of the mixed-teams tournament by the Gauff-led United States. “I woke up so late today,” said World No. 3 Gauff, 20, after she dismissed Karolina Muchova 6-1, 6-4 to underline what a threat she will be at the Australian Open starting next week.

Big-serving Taylor Fritz looked poised to level up the men’s singles match after losing the first set when a hot and bothered Tomas Machac shook hands, sending the Americans through.
Five-time Grand Slam champion Swiatek played a starring role for Poland in their semi-final against Kazakhstan as she beat Rybakina 7-6 (7/5), 6-4. “This win makes me really proud,” World No. 2 Swiatek said after giving Poland an unassailable 2-0 lead in the tie.
