Katie Boulter gave Great Britain the perfect start to their first home Fed Cup tie in 26 years by winning the opening rubber of the match against Slovenia.
Britain are in Group 1 of the Europe/Africa Zone of the women's team tournament and are hoping to get to the World Group II play-off in April if they come out on top of the round-robin event in Bath.
And they are heading in the right direction after British No 2 Boulter beat Kaja Juvan 6-4, 6-2 in the first singles match.
