Cameron Norrie defeated Greek world number 15 Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets to inspire Great Britain to victory in the opening tie of the Hopman Cup in Australia.
World number 91 Norrie, 23, secured the biggest win of his career with a 7-6 (10-8) 6-4 victory over Tsitsipas.
Team-mate Katie Boulter, 22, was beaten 6-0 4-6 6-2 by Maria Sakkari in the women's singles rubber.
But the Britons won the mixed doubles 4-3 3-4 (2-5) 4-3 (5-4) to win the tie.
The Hopman Cup, played in Perth, comprises two singles matches and a mixed-doubles contest between nations in a round-robin format with two groups of four.
Norrie and Boulter will face Switzerland's Roger Federer and Belinda Bencic on Sunday before playing Serena Williams and Frances Tiafoe of the USA on Thursday.
The winners of both groups will contest Saturday's final.

Well done to Norrie and Boutler. God forbid they progress to meet the USA in the final.

Great news for his native Africa
++++
Yes indeed - just as Virginia Wade's Wimbledon win was "great news" for her "native" South Africa.
If you don't want to support the bloke, fine, but calling him a "loser" when he is in the top10 of all time singles wins, both for tournaments and match wins is nonsense.
Agree though that there is no need for an HYS, just the same old nonsense from the usual suspects.
Also 'biggest win of his career'? Surepy that would be the win against Batista-Agut in the Davis cup. In Spain. On clay. Ok Tsitsipas is ranked a few places higher but is hardly a 'big name' and this isn't much more than an exhibition tournament. Still a good win though.
