GREAT Britain’s Kyle Edmund advanced to the quarter-finals of the BB&T Atlanta Open with a come-from-behind victory over Peter Gojowczyk.
Edmund lost the the first set but he recovered to come out on top with a 2-6, 6-4, 7-5 victory despite a rain break in Georgia.
The 22-year-old will now play Jack Sock or Dudi Sela in the last eight.
“I was really pleased to get through that,” Edmund said. “He was hitting really cleanly in the first set and I wasn’t able to get into many points. I’ve been in Atlanta quite a while to get used to the conditions, so it’s nice to get wins under your belt and get some momentum for the rest of this hard-court swing.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
