Great Britain's Cameron Norrie pulled off a remarkable upset to bring GB back into their Davis Cup tie with Spain.
In his first ever five set match, Norrie came back from two-love down to beat World number 23 Roberto Bautista Agut 4-6 3-6 6-3 6-2 6-2 and make up for Liam Broady's earlier loss. |

With no Andy Murray and Kyle Edmund involved in this fixture, Norrie, who hasn't been a professional for a year yet, lifted his game to a higher level than it's ever been at before.
With the doubles taking place on saturday, then the reverse singles ties on sunday, Cameron will have to play to a similar level again in just two days time to hopefully send his country through to the next round.
GB captain Leon Smith said: "At two sets down, you're thinking, just keep fighting, keep pride and passion. It's amazing to see Cam, as a rookue, a debutant, actually wear the opponent down. We've had a lot of good moments in Davis Cup and this is one of them right now."
