Coco Gauff has made a very fine start to her 2026 season, having really impressed for the USA at the United Cup. The USA lost their United Cup semifinal with Poland, but Gauff emerged victorious from her singles clash with Iga Swiatek.

After Hurbert Hurkacz gave the Europeans a 1-0 lead with a serving masterclass against Fritz in the men’s singles as he won 7-6 (7-1), 7-6 (7-2), the Americans hit back through Gauff as the reigning French Open champion beat Iga Swiatek 6-4, 6-2.

Coco Gauff has issued a clarification for her comments calling out U.S. tennis fans for being “the worst” at supporting American players overseas.

Carlos Alcaraz and Coco Gauff are arguably the two biggest stars that tennis has to offer. And, luckily for the sport, they are both only just getting started.

Coco calls out US tennis fans as being ‘the worst’ at supporting US players overseas “I feel like we’re definitely, in tennis, the worst. I’ve always said I wish our country in other places would show up throughout the world as we see smaller countries support” 🎥: 🎾 Australia pic.twitter.com/PfrQyTGa2N
