European Open tennis: Kyle Edmund into semi-finals with walkover


Top seed Kyle Edmund advanced to the semi-finals of the European Open without playing a single point on Friday.

Edmund was scheduled to face qualifier Ilya Ivashka in the quarter-finals but was handed a walkover when his Belarusian opponent was forced to withdraw from the contest with a thigh injury.

British number one Edmund will face France's Richard Gasquet in the last four in Antwerp after the fourth seed saved a match point in the decisive tie-break against Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff.
