Davis Cup: Kyle Edmund comes of age to send Britain into the semi final with straight-sets victory

COOL Kyle Edmund well and truly came of age to send Britain into the Davis Cup semi final.

Edmund  gave the performance of his young life to beat Dusan Lajovic 6-3 6-4 7-6 and seal a home tie against Argentina in September.

Any fears that the 21-year-old would freeze under the pressure were blown away by an aggressive but composed display.

The dogged Lajovic, the Serbian crowd, some dodgy officiating – none of them could stop Edmund.

He kept his composure superbly in trying circumstances, using his massive forehand to dictate the match, until he faltered when serving for the tie at 5-4 in the third.

The Brit then had to save two break points to force a tiebreak.

And then he came from 4-2 down in the breaker to give Britain its first elite level Davis Cup win without Andy Murray for 30 years.
