Captain Leon Smith said he had "immense" pride in his team's performance, which was produced despite the short turnaround following the Australian Open.

"Feelings are one of immense pride for what the boys have done, and the support team - everyone's committed a lot of time to this," Smith said before returning to the UK.

"Hats off to the players - they came down to Colombia, most straight from Melbourne, came earlier than we would ever normally do for a Davis Cup, it was a big commitment from them, but we did that to prepare best for what happened these last two days and it's definitely paid off.

"There's a lot of work that the players have done to adapt in a short space of time and they went out and fought really hard.

"It never had to be the highest quality of tennis because conditions don't allow for that, but it needed a lot of grit and determination.

"The important thing is we got a win, which gives us a chance to keep being successful this year and [we're] really looking forward to September now."
