The 25-year-old, who was Wimbledon champion in 2022, beat Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 6-2 6-3 to level the match after Pablo Carreno Busta defeated Alexander Shevchenko 6-2 6-1 to give Spain the lead.
Rybakina, the world number six, then partnered Shevchenko to a 7-6 (7-4) 6-7 (2-7) 10-7 win against Carreno Busta and Yvonne Cavalle-Reimers in the mixed doubles.

Great Britain will get their campaign under way against Argentina on Monday, before facing Australia on Wednesday.

Kazakhstan will qualify for the quarter-finals of the 18-nation mixed teams event if they defeat Greece in their second Group C match on Monday.

Rybakina, playing for the first time since beginning work with fellow former Wimbledon winner Goran Ivanisevic as her new coach, said: “The first match is always difficult.
