United Cup: Gauff, Fritz Visit Rottnest Island As They Get Ready To Lead Field In Perth
Americans Taylor Fritz: Top-seeded Americans Taylor Fritz and Coco Gauff found time to visit Western Australia's iconic Rottnest Island on the eve of the start of the new tennis season on Friday at the United Cup, the prestigious mixed-gender team competition which is a major stop in the build-up for the year's first Grand Slam, Australian Open. United Cup play in Sydney begins on Saturday.
Fritz, at a career-high No. 4 in the ATP Rankings, and World No. 3 Gauff strolled the island's picturesque Basin, posed for selfies with the native quokkas, and enjoyed a famous 'Cray Dog', a Western Australian-inspired lobster roll.
Gauff was joined by her parents and younger brothers, Codey and Cameron. "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. “They're on Christmas break, so for them to be able to see a different part of the world is cool."
