- Britons defeat Alex De Minaur and Ajla Tomljanović in singles
- Title holders USA next in line for a quarter-final spot
Cameron Norrie began the new season with a timely return to form as Great Britain clinched victory over hosts Australia at the United Cup.
The second edition of the mixed international team competition is a slimmed-down version, with ties comprising two singles matches and one doubles. Britain only needed the singles contests to seal the win in Perth, with Norrie defeating Alex De Minaur for the second year in a row 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (2) before Katie Boulter powered to a 6-2, 6-4 win against Ajla Tomljanović.
