Though the Spaniard's efforts were little needed with the Aces dominating the three earlier fixtures. Bopara, alongside Sania Miirza, thrilled their home crowd with a win in the mixed doubles, before Agnieszka Radwanska and Fabrice Santoro both beat their singles opponents 6-1.
It was a bad day for the Mavericks, who had won four of their five previous matches, as they were downed by the table-topping Aces.
The first match of the day saw the UAE Royals facing off against the Japan Warriors, with the Warriors getting their first win 24-21.
