Americans in action on ‘The Land Down Under’! Coco Gauff is all set to make her debut at the United for Team USA alongside this year’s US Open finalist, Taylor Fritz. Both these tennis stars were recently spotted visiting the Rottnest Island in cool summer outfits ahead of their 2025 United Cup campaign in Perth. Who will they face in their first battle, though? Well, Team USA is all set to take on Canada on December 29! Apart from Gauff and Fritz, the 31-year-old star, Danielle Collins is also set to take part in this mega mixed-team event. What were her motivations, though, for putting her hands up to play at the 2025 United Cup?
So, are heading for some epic matches at this year’s United Cup? Well, we’ll wait and watch for the ‘Danimal’ show then! However, talking about the real reasons behind her participation in this event during the press conference at the 2025 United Cup, Collins said, “Yeah, I mean, after Olympics, we just had to get the fam back together. We had a good run there, had a great time with the same crew. It was a no-brainer after talking to everybody about coming back this year and kicking it off here in Perth.”
For those who are unaware, Danielle Collins was forced to retire from her QF match against Iga Swiatek at the Paris Olympics. Reasons for her retirement in the middle of that high-voltage clash? Well, as per the reports, the American cramped and went into convulsions because of dehydration and exhaustion after competing in extremely hot conditions in Paris. However, that story is over now and Danielle Collins is keen to make it count this time around for her nation. She also said that she’s “enjoying hanging out” with the others in the squad and she looked very excited to take part in this event.
