SYDNEY (AP) — The United States has claimed the inaugural United Cup in convincing fashion with an overpowering display over Italy in the final of the mixed teams event. No. 9-ranked Taylor Fritz gave the U.S. an unassailable 3-0 lead in the best-of-five matchup when edging former Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini 7-6 (4), 7-6 (7).

He was mobbed by his teammates at Ken Rosewall Arena after clinching the title for the Americans.
