‘Madi really set the tone with her match,’ Pegula said. ‘I think I did everything really well today. I could feel it. Some days you come out firing and you feel really good. I was trying to settle down because I was seeing the ball so well.

In the Brisbane City Final, Matteo Berrettini beat Hubert Hurkacz 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 to give Italy a 2-1 lead over Poland, before Poland won the fourth singles match to tie it at 2-2.
