The Scot came from a set down against debutant Leandro Riedi to win 6-7 (7) 6-4 6-4 at the AO Arena.
Murray played singles against Kazakhstan at the same stage last year but only once Britain were already eliminated, making this his first live singles rubber in the competition since 2019 and only his second in seven years.
After negotiating an 11-minute first game, the Scot broke serve immediately and had a chance to open up a 4-0 lead. The young Swiss, who had never previously beaten a top-50 player, had his tail up and Murray kicked his bag in frustration after failing to break in the third game of the second set.
