VANDEWEGHE LEADS US TO FED CUP TITLE

MINSK: Coco Vandeweghe was not about to let a perfect Fed Cup season slip away as she led the United States to their first title in 17 years on Sunday. The American, unbeaten in Fed Cup singles rubbers this year, teamed up with Shelby Rogers to beat Belarus’ Aliaksandra Sasnovich and Aryna Sabalenka 6-3, 7-6(3) to give the US a 3-2 overall win. It was the US’s record 18th Fed Cup crown. “Well, it’s not just me out here,” Vandeweghe said. “I really want to thank my team mates for pushing me along... It was really a team effort.” With the US victory, Vandeweghe became the first player since Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic in 2011 to win the maximum six singles matches in one year
