The Hopman Cup began its revival on Wednesday in a new location of Nice in France with a major shock to open the tournament as Holger Rune and Clara Tauson for Denmark lost to Switzerland.
Tauson gave the Danes a good start with a straight sets win over Celine Naef who is ranked World No.157 and replaced Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-3.
But it started to fall off with the anchor of the team in Holger Rune, the World No.6 going down to World No.157, Leandro Riedi in straight sets 6-4, 6-3 to the latter.
The Swiss pair then combined to beat Tauson and Rune 6-3, 7-5 to seal a 2-1 win. Denmark will now have to return to face France who are Richard Gasquet and Alize Cornet.
They play on Friday against the Swiss, while Spain, Belgium and Croatia sit in the other group.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
