World No. 45 Sebastian Baez has given Argentina a 1-0 lead over Spain on Day 1 of the United Cup in Perth.
Competing in his first match at the mixed teams event, the 24-year-old recorded a 6-4, 6-4 win against Jaume Munar in one hour and 43 minutes.
With the victory, Baez secured his first Top 50 win since defeating then-No. 46 Mariano Navone on his way to the title in Rio last February.
