Tomic, who stunned world number one Novak Djokovic on Wednesday night after accounting for German Tommy Haas earlier in the tournament, had too many weapons for Seppi, with the 71-minute win giving Australia a 1-0 lead in the tie.

Queensland teenager Ashleigh Barty can secure the win for Australia if she can upset 2010 French Open champion Francesca Schiavone in the women’s singles rubber.

“I think I played really well against Novak yesterday and today was really good as well,” Tomic said. “It’s amazing preparation before the Australian Open and I’m really glad I came. “The last few months were very hard. I was focusing a lot on my fitness and my serve. You need to serve well when you play against these top players.”
