Translation: Yesterday, the final of the 2025 United Cup team event concluded with Team USA defeating Poland 2-0 to claim the championship, while Poland finished as runners-up for the second consecutive year in this competition. In the clash between the two teams, the most eye-catching match was undoubtedly the face-off between world number three Coco Gauff and world number two Iga Swiatek. Despite Swiatek holding an absolute lead with an 11-2 record in their previous encounters, it was Gauff who emerged victorious in their most recent meeting at the Riyadh Year-End Finals. Yesterday, after a fiercely competitive match described as a "clash of titans," Gauff triumphed over Swiatek with a score of 6-4/6-4, securing her first-ever consecutive wins against Swiatek. However, the focus of the match was not just on the result; Swiatek's medical timeout at the end of the game became a hot topic of discussion among the public. Throughout the match, Swiatek found herself constantly playing catch-up. This situation persisted until the middle of the second set when she managed to take a 4-3 lead. However, Gauff then raised her game to a 5-4 advantage. At this critical juncture, Swiatek requested a medical timeout citing "physical discomfort" and left the court for treatment, which lasted more than ten minutes. Fortunately, Gauff remained unaffected by this interruption, and the post-match handshake between the two was quite intriguing.

On January 5th, Beijing time, the final of the 2025 Tennis United Cup kicked off, with top-seeded Team USA facing off against last year's runner-up, Poland, in a battle between two strong teams. In the first women's singles match, world number 2, Swiatek, lost 0-2 to American prodigy Gauff, failing to secure an early lead for Poland. This was also Swiatek's first loss in the United Cup over the past two years. After the game, perhaps due to the immense pressure of representing her country or the regret of not securing a crucial point for her team, the former world number 1 broke down in tears once again, unable to stop the tears from falling despite her teammates' attempts to comfort her. It is worth noting that this is not the first time Swiatek has publicly broken down in tears. Last year at the Paris Olympics, Swiatek admitted to crying for six hours after losing to Zheng Qinwen in the semifinals. At the time, Swiatek was one of Poland's few hopes for gold at the Olympics, but ultimately, the Chinese dark horse, Zheng Qinwen, took away the gold medal that Swiatek had been determined to win. In the women's singles final, Swiatek also wasted many opportunities to win. In the first set, both players engaged in a fierce battle of breaks. Gauff broke serve in the second game, but Swiatek quickly broke back in the third. After Swiatek broke serve in the fifth game, Gauff broke back in the sixth, and the two fought until the tenth game, where Gauff…
