It’s been an emotional ride, but we’ve stayed strong together.”
Gauff’s strong play throughout the tournament, combined with her leadership on and off the court, has been a major factor in Team USA’s advancement. The rising star reflected on the significance of the United Cup, noting how special it is to represent her country in a team setting, something she doesn’t often get to do in the primarily individual sport of tennis.
