Reigning Olympic champion Belinda Bencic was responsible for the winning point, helping last year's runners-up go one better this time around.

Bencic beat Ajla Tomljanovic 6-2, 6-1 in the tie's second match to secure the title at Glasgow's Emirates Arena.

Jil Teichmann defeated Storm Sanders 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 in the other singles rubber.

The Swiss lost just one match within their three ties at the finals of the Billie Jean King Cup and proved a dominant force.

The country had never won the trophy before, twice finishing second.

Bencic said the Swiss team had been "so heartbroken" a year ago, when a Russian Tennis Federation side - banned this year because of the war in Ukraine - beat them in the final.

"I'm so proud," was Bencic's verdict on the triumph.

Australia are seven-time winners, but were seeking a first title since 1974.

They have now been runners-up 10 times since that last victory.
