Edmund "excited" by Kyrgios challenge

British qualifier Kyle Edmund has said that he is looking forward to playing Nick Kyrgios in the second round of the French Open.

The 20-year-old came through five sets to claim victory against Stephane Robert in the first round at Roland Garros, in what was his first win at a Grand Slam.

"I'm excited," Edmund told ITV Sport. "He's an extremely good player, done well recently and has got a big serve. I'm going to work out a gameplan and look at what I can do better."

Edmund is the British number four and his win against Robert will now move him into the top 100 in the world rankings.
