Britain's Fed Cup tie against Greece descended into acrimony on Thursday night after visiting player Valentini Grammatikopoulou complained that poor line calls had robbed her of a possible upset against Katie Boulter.

The Greek No 2 and her Captain Anastasios Bavelas were incensed at a series of judgements that went against them in the deciding set as Boulter prevailed 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 at Bath University Sports Centre.

Grammatikopoulou also wondered why Hawk-eye had not been employed at the indoor venue, where eight nations are battling to try and emerge from the Euro Africa Zone playoffs to reach the elite World Group of the women's competition.
