Nick Kyrgios edges out Kyle Edmund at Queen's

Nick Kyrgios progresses through to the quarter-finals at Queen's with a three-set victory over British number one Kyle Edmund.

Nick Kyrgios has recorded a three-set victory over Kyle Edmund to reach the quarter-finals at Queen's.

Earlier this week, Kyrgios edged out the returning Andy Murray over the distance and the Australian did the same to British number one Edmund on Thursday.

Kyrgios put on a supreme serving display with 32 aces being fired down in the match, but the world number 21 needed a tie-break to come through the opening set.

Edmund battled hard in the second and did well to remain in the contest before edging a tie-break of his own, but Kyrgios seized control of the decider by sealing the solitary break of serve in the match in the fourth game of the third set.

Home favourite Edmund continued to remain competitive but Kyrgios overcame brief frustration in the final game to register a 7-6 6-7 6-3 victory.

Kyrgios will face Feliciano Lopez in the last eight.
