Edmund Is Ready For Wimbledon Showdown

Thanks to Andy Murray, certain things are now expected of the British No 1 and, as Kyle Edmund is about to find out, going toe to toe with Novak Djokovic is one of them, writes Paul Prenderville.

However, meeting the 12-time Grand Slam champion while England are in a World Cup quarter-final is probably not one of them but Edmund – increasingly comfortable in his newfound and earlier-than-expected status at the top of the British game – is happy to cope with the clash, which includes having a few digs at his Swedish coach Fredrik Rosengren.

“I don’t mind either way – I’m a tennis player, so I’m here to do my job first, but well see,” Edmund told the media on Thursday evening after his win over Bradley Klahn.
