Switzerland took its fourth Hopman Cup title overall when Roger Federer and Belinda Bencic beat Alexander Zverev and Angelique Kerber 4-0, 1-4, 4-3 (4) in the Fast4 format.
The 37-year-old Federer's precision went up against Tsitsipas' power in the first set of the men's singles match, and not much separated the two. Eight games were held at love.
Federer and playing partner Belinda Bencic overcame Williams and Frances Tiafoe in the Fast4 format in front of a 14,000 capacity crowd.
Switzerland last won the Hopman Cup in 2001 when Federer teamed with Martina Hingis.
Federer was just 19 when he won the Hopman Cup in 2001 with then top-ranked Martina Hingis.
The win came before a record crowd of 13,943 at Perth Arena, an attendance which eclipsed one of Federer's matches last year in the Western Australia state capital.
