Jessica Bouzas Maneiro: confirmed United Cup schedule vs Coco Gauff on January 5, 2026
Jessica Bouzas Maneiro is confirmed for a United Cup meeting with Coco Gauff on January 5, 2026, in Spain’s tie. ESPN’s United Cup report says that matchup sits inside a group where the defending champion United States already beat Argentina 2-1 in Group A, and it says Argentina’s quarterfinal fate will be decided by its showdown against Spain.
