Australia win Hopman Cup final

Nick Kyrgios secured the Hopman Cup for Australia Green by beating Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-3 6-4 to give his team a 2-0 victory over Ukraine in Perth.

Kyrgios' team-mate Daria Gavrilova had earlier defeated Elina Svitolina 6-4 7-6 (8-6) in the mixed event.

Svitolina had six set points at 6-1 in the second-set tie-break but lost the last seven points of the match.

Kyrgios, ranked 30th in the world, beat Britain's world number two Andy Murray in the group stage on Wednesday.

The tournament hosts, who had two squads competing in this year's eight-team event, last won the competition in 1999.
