No, after the first set of the doubles match between the USA and Great Britain in Perth, not only the US fans asked themselves why not Rajeev Ram, one of the best doubles players in the world, but Taylor Fritz, who rarely competes in pair skating Jessica Pegula's page was nominated. Katie Boulter and Neal Skupski won this round 6-1, and the next success for the British after their opening win against Australia was within their grasp.
But then Fritz, who had equalized with his 7:6 (5) and 6:4 against Cameron Norrie in the singles, pulled himself together. And with Pegula she won the second set 7:4 in the tiebreak, then the third set 10:7.
Which brought the day to a great conclusion for Pegula. They were unable to use a 3-0 lead in the second set to win with 7:5, 4:6 and 4:6 against Boulter.
In the second early game, almost at the same time, Canada beat Chile 2-1 in Sydney.
