SEVILLE :Switzerland's reign as Billie Jean King Cup champions is over after they suffered a second successive loss in Seville on Thursday, this time at the hands of the United States.
U.S. Open champion Coco Gauff was left off the American team for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals on Monday, while second-ranked Iga Swiatek of Poland is skipping the event for the second year in a row.
American teenager Coco Gauff qualified for the third round of the US Open on Wednesday after beating 16-year-old Russian Mirra Andreeva 6-3, 6-2. Sixth seed Gauff, one of the favourites for the title after recent tournament wins in Washington and Cincinnati, will meet Belgium's Elise Mertens or countrywoman Danielle Collins for a place in the last 16. After a tough opening round against German veteran Laura Siegemund, Gauff dominated the youngest player in the draw to notch a 13th win in 14 matches since losing in the Wimbledon first round.
:Iga Swiatek made quick work of qualifier Danielle Collins as she raced to a 6-1 6-0 victory on Wednesday to reach the Cincinnati Open third round as third seed Jessica Pegula survived a tough opening match.
A bizarre incident occurred at the Cincinnati Open on Wednesday when Greek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas was bothered by an unruly fan pretending to be a bee.
Liudmila Samsonova of Russia and Belinda Bencic of Switzerland will meet in the National Bank Open quarterfinals Friday evening after both players won their round of 16 matches.
Iga Swiatek, unfazed by two lengthy rain delays, held off Karolina Muchova 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 to reach the quarter-finals of the WTA Montreal Open on Thursday. Swiatek's victory, in a rematch of the French Open final she won two months ago, ensures the Polish star will remain number one in the world for a 72nd straight week when the rankings come out on Monday. It took two hours and 47 minutes on court, but more than nine hours from start to finish on what Swiatek called an "extraordinary" day.
Iga Swiatek overcame a lengthy rain delay and a stern test from Karolina Muchova to seal a 6-1 4-6 6-4 victory at the Canadian Open that will assure the Pole retains her number one ranking when the U.S. Open warm-up event concludes.
