Kyle Edmund

Looks like it will be the battle expected, Denis up 5-2 and the stronger in the 2nd, hopefully Kyle can respond.

Good match !!

Kyle now apparently hampered by neck issue, anyway giving a bit away after treatment and may well be difficult to stay into contention. Edmund retires after 1st game of 4th , probably wasn't much point in continuing. Such a pity, not saying he would necessarily have won but gutting not to able to give it best shot. Shapovalov obviously showing promise mind you and be interesting to see what he can do next.

He is brilliant for 18.

Aww bless Kyle, he is most upset, bless him, your time will come Kyle!!!:sad:

So sad for Kyle :sad: really unfortunate, sport can be so cruel. Good luck to Denis for rest of tournament, has a great game, the boy is a natural, hope he can have a good run in the open half.

Aw poor Kyle. He looked so dejected. It's been an awful year for injuries.

Poor Kyle forced to retire. :sad:

I didn't see any of this match or any tennis today but it's sad news to catch up on. Wishing Kyle a speedy recovery. Shappy has a great career ahead of him

I, firstly, heard Kyle had to retire because of a neck injury. Later, I heard it was because of a back injury.
