The captain of Australia, Lleyton Hewitt was elated with the day to comment
“A perfect start. We know it’s not over quite yet, but the boys did really well today. They were big favorites coming into both singles, but you can’t take anything for granted in Davis Cup.
There’s a lot more pressure on as well and sometimes it’s tougher when you are a lot more fancied chance to go out there and get the job done.”
Groth and Peers are meant to play the doubles for Australia against Martin and Zelenay.
