You might have noticed that Norway's number one and talisman Casper Ruud isn't playing this evening.

Ruud, ranked 13th in the world, withdrew from the tie to spend time with his newborn daughter, who was born on 30 January.

That helps tilt the tie in Great Britain's favour as it leaves Nicolai Budkov Kjaer - the world number 133 - as the highest-ranked singles player in the squad.

More from Jack Draper: "It's nice to come back to Oslo, I love Oslo. I remember playing here when I was 11 or 12 years old. It's very cold but it's a special feeling to be back here and I'm excited for what's to come."

Here's what Jack Draper had to say after that dominant victory over Viktor Durasovic: "It's really good to play here in Oslo, to have my first match in a long time, to get a first point on the board for Great Britain. I haven't played Davis Cup in a long time so it's good to be here and proud of my performance today."

On what it's taken to get back playing: "Hard work, perseverance, it's been a really difficult time since I've been away from the sport. I knew I had to keep on practising my hardest and learn about myself. That's the hard work no-one sees. When I come back, hopefully I am able to play some top tennis again."

A perfect start for Great Britain and a tough lead to follow for Cam Norrie.

He's up next to take on world number 133 Nicolai Budkov Kjaer.

Well that was quick, wasn't it? One hour exactly.

It might have been against the world number 313, but that's not a bad way for Jack Draper to return after more than five months out injured.

Superb from the British number one. Five months out of match play and he showed no hesitation. That was very impressive.

A forehand down the line from Jack Draper and it's match point number two for the Briton...

Jack Draper plants his first match point into the net and we go to deuce.

Can Viktor Durasovic take advantage and keep himself alive for just a while longer?

A poor volley from Jack Draper goes unpunished by Viktor Durasovic, but the Norwegian makes sure he doesn't make the same mistake on the next one, squeezing it in to pull himself level at 30-30.

But a backhand into the net brings up a first match point for Draper.

Viktor Durasovic isn't going away just yet. Some big serving and aggressive play from the Norwegian see him through that service game.

Over to Jack to serve it out...

Viktor Durasovic almost takes the umpire out as he swings at Jack Draper's serve and skews it wide.

He can't do much better with Draper's next couple of serves either, and it's another game on the board for the Briton.

One left to go...

Viktor Durasovic finds himself in trouble again as Jack Draper claws his way to 30-30, but his time the Norwegian is able to wriggle free and get himself on the scoreboard.

Jack Draper has many familiar faces on the team bench for his comeback to tennis.

It is unusual that a personal coach accompanies a player to Davis Cup ties, but Jamie Delgado is here - and it’s the first time he has watched his new charge play a competitive match.

Delgado is sitting next to Draper’s former coach James Trotman. The two are good friends, and Trotman remains an important part of the LTA coaching team.

No messing about. A confident love hold from Jack Draper, who wraps it up by reaching Viktor Durasovic's drop shot and slamming it past the world number 313.

The 24-year-old looks unstoppable at the moment.

Jack Draper didn't miss his first three break points, and he doesn't miss that one either - catching Viktor Durasovic out as the Norwegian runs to the net.

That's him a double break up in the second set.

After a brilliant backhand winner from Jack Draper to pull things back to deuce, Viktor Durasovic goes wide and gifts the British number one another break point.

A first sign of frustration from Viktor Durasovic, who kicks the ball into the net after missing a simple backhand volley to pull Jack Draper up to 40-30.

Yikes. That double fault won't improve his mood. Deuce.

Here's how Jack Draper closed out his first competitive set of tennis in 164 days.
