Swiatek Ahead of Gauff Rematch: 'No Sense Focusing on Last Year's Match'
The United Cup 2026 is nearing its conclusion, and for the second year in a row, Poland and the United States face off in a do-or-die match.
Last year, Iga Swiatek and Hubert Hurkacz had the trophy within reach before falling to a dominant American team (2-0 defeat in the final).
Swiatek Rejects Revenge Talk
On the eve of her clash with Gauff, Iga Swiatek dismisses the idea of revenge after her 6-4, 6-4 defeat last year:
"An entire year in our lives is a very long time. It would make no sense to focus on a match that happened last year.
Coco (Gauff) and I know our styles. The key will be to focus on myself, apply what I've worked on during the preseason, and be brave in my decisions."
