Coco Gauff's 6-4, 6-4 victory over Iga Swiatek in the United Cup final allowed Team USA to take an early lead, showcasing Gauff's evolving skills and strategy. Throughout the match, she outmaneuvered Swiatek, delivering relentless forehands that denied the Polish player her usual rhythm. Gauff's addition of grip expert Matt Daly to her team has paid dividends as she reworks her forehand and serve, enhancing her overall performance.
Despite leading multiple times during the match, Swiatek faced difficulties as Gauff consistently challenged her with varying height and spin. This forced Swiatek into making more unforced errors, a trend that also emerged during their prior match at the WTA Tour Finals. Gauff's strategic play enabled her to seize crucial breaks at pivotal moments, marking a significant turning point in their competitive history and instilling a newfound confidence in her game.
