ATP Vienna Open: Fernando Verdasco v Kyle Edmund, Match story

The Great British Fightback - Set 2

Kyle Edmund showed his grit to come back into the match against Verdasco

It was Kyle Edmund's turn to break early in the second set. After holding serve comfortably in Game 1, he broke the Verdasco serve effortlessly in the next. He was under the pump in his next 2 service games. The Brit saved a break point in the first, taking it after deuce. It was even tougher in the 5th game where he was 15-40 down. After saving another break point off the 4th deuce in the match from his serve, he won the game.

Without taking any credit away from Edmund, his Spanish adversary's service was disastrous in the set including a double fault double. In the first 2 sets, he lost more than 25 points on serve. Kyle Edmund promptly seized upon his weak second serves in the 2nd set to take it 6 games to 3.
