Team USA win Inaugural United Cup

January 8, 2023 by Tennis Panorama News

Team USA have won the inaugural United Cup at Ken Rosewall Arena in Sydney defeating Italy 4-0.

Taylor Fritz clinched the title for his country when he defeated Matteo Berrettini 7-6(4) 7-6(6) in a nail-biting duel. Jessica Pegula and Frances Tiafoe each earned a point for the Americans earlier on Sunday to give their country an insurmountable 3-0 lead.

“It’s great. It’s amazing for the team to win this event. We came in with really high hopes, or at least I did, for the event,” Fritz said. “I was really happy to be in that position to clinch the match.”

World No.3 Pegula gave her country a good start against Italy with a straight-sets victory against Martina Trevisan. Tiafoe then surged through the first set against Lorenzo Musetti when the Italian retired due to a right shoulder injury. Madison Keys went on to defeat Lucia Bronzetti in the final match of the tie.

Team USA produced a dominant performance throughout the United Cup, dropping just two individual matches. None of their ties were closer than 4-1.

FINAL RESULTS

Showcasing equality at the highest level of the sport, the inaugural United Cup saw mixed teams from 18 countries compete across three Australian cities – Brisbane, Perth and Sydney.
