<p>Norrie had lost his four previous meetings against Nadal but produced some of his best tennis at a sold-out Ken Rosewall Arena to give Great Britain a 1-0 lead against Spain at the inaugural mixed international team competition.</p>
<p>The 27-year-old said in his post-match interview: “It was pretty crazy. I was thinking I’d never won a set before (against Nadal) and I came out firstly wanting to do that.</p>

<p>“I had to stay super-patient. It was a super-physical match and I enjoyed it. It was huge to get through that one and finally beat him.</p>
<p>“He bet me easily the last few times, so it’s a great way to end the year for me. It was a crazy atmosphere, thank you guys. It was a crazy match.”</p>
<p>Norrie, who defeated Alex de Minaur in his opening match at the new mixed-teams event as Britain beat Australia 3-2, was no match for Nadal in the opening set.</p>

<p>Nadal, making his first appearance since the Nitto ATP Finals in November, delivered a series of stunning passing shots, but was unable to maintain his level.</p>
<p>Norrie broke the Spaniard in the sixth game of the second set and went on to dominate the decider, saving two break points while leading 3-2 before holding his nerve to clinch a statement win.</p>
<p>Britain’s Katie Swan will bid to put Britain 2-0 up in their Group D tie when she faces Spain’s Nuria Parrizas Diaz in the last match of the day.</p>
