Diego Schwartzman came from a set and a break down to defeat world number four Stefanos Tsitsipas and seal Argentina's victory over Greece at the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Cup in Sydney in Australia.

The world number 13 edged Tsitsipas 6-7, 6-3, 6-3 to secure the fifth top-five win of his career.

Schwartzman’s victory came after Federico Delbonis put Argentina on track for a second Group D triumph with a 7-6, 6-1 win over Michail Pervolarakis.

Argentina completed a 3-0 success when Máximo González and Andrés Molteni downed Markos Kalovelonis and Petros Tsitsipas 6-3, 4-6, 11-9.

Last year’s Miami Open champion dropped the first set to world number 571 Aleksandre Metreveli of Georgia before triumphing 6-7, 6-3, 6-1.

"He played well in the first set and things were not going my way, but I got better with each set and am happy to get the win," Hurkacz said.

Earlier, Kamil Majchrzak gave Poland a strong start when he thrashed Aleksandre Bakshi 6-1, 6-1 in just 53 minutes.

Poland rounded off a 3-0 victory over Georgia when Szymon Walkow and Jan Zielinski defeated Aleksandre Bakshi and Aleksandre Metreveli 6-7, 6-2, 10-6.
