The following are the dark horses for the women's singles title at the Australian Open, which starts on Sunday:
The United States lifted its second United Cup mixed team tournament title in three years Sunday after beating Poland 2-0, with Coco Gauff and Taylor Fritz both winning their singles matches.
Coco Gauff roared past Iga Swiatek to inspire team USA Sunday before Taylor Fritz sealed the United Cup title with victory over Poland's Hubert Hurkacz in Sydney. Gauff opened with a statement 6-4, 6-4 win over Swiatek in 1hr 51min of hard-hitting tennis to fire a warning shot ahead of the Australian Open. Big-serving Fritz then battled through against Hubert Hurkacz 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (7/4) to spark wild celebrations as the Americans won the mixed-teams cup for the second time in three years after winning the inaugural event in 2023.

Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek will battle for United Cup glory after the USA and Poland won their respective semi-finals on Saturday in Sydney amid bizarre circumstances.

The Americans defeated the Czech Republic, with Gauff beating Karolina Muchova and then an increasingly irate Tomas Machac retiring from his match against Taylor Fritz in an abrupt and bewildering ending.
The 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina said Saturday her former coach Stefano Vukov “never mistreated me” after reports that he has been provisionally suspended by the WTA.
