The opening doubles match on Sunday featured several sustained rallies, with Shelton hitting a behind the back shot during the second game.

But it wasn't to be as Hurkacz missed a drop shot, allowing Team World to clinch the win.

The Polish player threw his racket down onto the court and appeared visibly angry at the missed opportunity.
