Australia advanced to the second-round of Davis Cup qualification overnight, claiming a 3-1 win against Sweden to ensure a three-year first.
In the first day of action, Alex de Minaur and Aleksandar Vukic secured straight sets victories in singles to hand Australia a 2-0 lead in a best-of-five tie.
Doubles specialists and Olympic gold medalists Matthew Ebden and John Peers were next up, with a chance to cement the tie against Filip Bergevi and André Göransson.
One break point was faced in the entire first set on the Australian serve, with the Swedes eventually putting away their third set point in the tiebreak.
However, it was one-way traffic from there, with Ebden and Peers holding serve to claim a come-from-behind 6-7(7) 6-3 6-2 triumph.
"We're all here to fight as a team to get a home tie," said Ebden after the match. "This one is for the team and to take a home tie to Australia.
"We love a good fight. I'm glad we fought back. A pleasure to come out here and fight in front of this crowd."
The result means Australia will guarantee a home tie in the second-round of qualifiers in September for the first time since March 2022.
Last year, captain Lleyton Hewitt blasted tennis officials for giving Australia an unfair advantage, as both the September qualifying round and the Finals were hosted in Málaga, Spain.
"Once again we’re a long way from Australia aren’t we?" he said.
"It will be nice when they take our bid seriously to host the finals, Australia will put on a bloody good event."
The Italian city of Bologna has been confirmed as the new host of November’s Finals for the next three years.
Australia will face the winner of Chile or Belgium in the September showdown.
There was one bit of good news for Swedish fans in Stockholm, as Björn Borg’s son, Leo, defeated Peers in the singles, winning 7-5 6-4 in what was nothing other than a consolation.
