ATP review: Kyle Edmund in semis of Winston-Salem Open


Kyle Edmund produced a terrific comeback to progress into the semi-finals of the Winston-Salem Open.

Edmund, who needed to qualify for the event, dropped the opening set on the way to the last four after beating American Steve Johnson 5-7 6-3 6-3.

It was a tight contest between the British number two and the world number 46 as they shared the opening 11 games before Johnson earned the first break and move one set up.

The Briton took a medical timeout for a shoulder injury before the start of the second set but that did not seem to hamper the 22-year-old as he stormed back to take the match into a decider courtesy of two breaks.

Edmund started the final set by rattling off three successive games before Johnson got on the board, and the world number 45 secured his place in the last four after the duo shared the next six games.

He will face Bosnia's Damir Dzumhur for a place in the final and is Sky Bet's 8/15 favourite to advance.

Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut is 4/5 to win the tournament. He faces Jan-Lennard Struff in the other semi-final and is 2/7 favourite.
