Gauff's 4th Straight Win Over Swiatek: Only Ostapenko Preceded Her on Tour
The United States, defending United Cup champions, were eliminated this Saturday just short of the final by Poland in the decisive doubles.
A tight match that saw Coco Gauff, as last year, defeat world No. 2 Iga Swiatek (6-4, 6-2) on the Sydney court.
Swiatek's New Nemesis?
After 12 encounters she posted a record of one win to eleven losses against the Pole, Gauff has turned things around. She has won their last four head-to-heads, each time in straight sets.
An impressive streak that makes her the second player on tour (after Jelena Ostapenko) to beat Swiatek four times in a row.
