It's amazing how much better SST is on clay than the faster surfaces...(one of the longest matches I ever had was on clay because I wasn't able to dictate the points because the dirt neutralize my serve and groundstrokes) it takes patience. Not surprised that their match up this time was a lot shorter

I dont think I could watch their match again if it was on clay

In Perth , USA<defending champions of the United Cup 2022, are playing Great Britain
Pegula v Boulter this has been a fun match and highly competitive from both players so far, Jess won the 1st set 75, David Witt, Jess coach, said that Katie Boulter has been playing like a Top 10 player on serve at 3 all in the 2nd set, Katie wins the 2nd set 64, taking the ball on, her fhand was on Fire, anything short from Jess she just put it away for a winner. Jess needs to up her first serve percentage for starters below 50%, she look a bit flat to me, it is a very hot day in Perth. Going 3 sets.
Katie was serving for the match 5-3 and broken, though came back with some great work at the net and won the match 57 64 64, from the 2nd set Katie was the more aggressive and took the ball on more than Jess..Katie deserved her win. A fun match!
Fritz d Norrie 76(5) 64,
1 all between USA and GBR
Mixed doubles to decide the winner in this tie
Pegula/Fritz vs Boulter/Skupski for the mixed doubles decider
Bouter/Skupski winning the 1st set with ease 61, Skupski a seasoned doubles player on the ATP tour, shows,
Fritz/Pegula came back in the 2nd set to win 76(4) going to a 3rd set TB for the decider
USA wins the deciding TB 10-7 and win the tie against GBR
