United Cup: United States Knock Out Great Britain

Meanwhile, the United States had grabbed a commanding 3-1 lead in their City Final in Sydney, eliminating Great Britain from the inaugural United Cup.

Frances Tiafoe defeated British No. 2 Dan Evans 3-6 7-5 6-3 to advance the US to the semifinals of the United Cup.

After Katie Swan of the Great Britain team had lost to Madison Keys 2-6 6-3 6-4 earlier, Cameron Norrie defeated Taylor Fritz 6-4 5-7 6-4.

The third-ranked Jessica Pegula defeated Harriet Dart 6-2, 6-0.

Despite losing, Dart and Evans will compete together in the mixed doubles match at the Ken Rosewall Arena with Pegula and Fritz.

The Sydney City Final is one of three City Finals taking place across Australia, which acts as a play-off for the semi-finals.

The winners in Sydney, Perth, and Brisbane will progress, as will the runners-up with the best record – but this will not be Great Britain.
