Coco Gauff & Taylor Fritz rock breezy summer fits while exploring Rottnest Island ahead of United Cup
Coco Gauff and Taylor Fritz visited the Rottnest Island in cool summer outfits ahead of their 2025 United Cup campaign in Perth. The USA is drawn against Canada and Croatia in Group A.
On Thursday, Gauff and Fritz explored the Rottnest Island, which is a site that sits just offshore from the city of Perth. Fritz sported a casual beach look with a red polo shirt featuring the USA flag and United Cup logo, paired with light blue shorts and white sneakers.
Gauff complemented the patriotic theme, wearing a navy blue "Team USA" tank top tucked into light denim shorts, accessorized with a white baseball cap.
20-year-old Gauff was joined by her family in Australia. Her parents and younger brothers Codey and Cameron were on a Christmas break and the 2023 US Open champion was happy to be with them.
"It's great to bring my family here. It's my first Christmas away from home. It was important for them to be able to come with me," Gauff said (via ATPTour). "They're on Christmas break, so for them to be able to see a different part of the world is cool."
