Serbia needed a champions tie-break in the deciding mixed doubles rubber to beat Australia in the Hopman Cup after Novak Djokovic had suffered a surprise loss to Bernard Tomic.
Tomic, pictured, was a 6-4, 6-4 winner over the world No.1 Djokovic, never really looking in trouble at any stage, and Serbia had to rely on Ana Ivanovic to beat Ashleigh Barty – she did so 6-2, 6-3 – to set up a doubles decider which the Serbs edged 6-4, 6-7 (8-10), 10-6 to secure their second win of the competition.
