Katie Boulter, the British No 1, admitted she was hoping to avoid having to play her Australian fiance, Alex de Minaur, after leading Great Britain to victory over Argentina in the United Cup.
Boulter teamed up with Charlie Broom to clinch the tie in Sydney with a 7-6 (4), 7-5 win over Tomás Martín Etcheverry and María Lourdes Carlé in the decisive mixed doubles rubber.
