#3 Kyle Edmund vs Kevin Anderson

Masters Tennis - Day Four
Britain's only hope in men's tennis

With former World No. 1 Andy Murray out of the Australian Open, Great Britain's only hope in men’s singles is the World No. 49 Kyle Edmund. He has been making steady progress on the ATP circuit, with his best performance in a Grand Slam being a fourth round finish at the 2016 US Open.

He carries his nation’s hopes on his shoulders and it isn’t any easier for him as he faces last year’s US Open runner-up, Kevin Anderson. The South African had a strong finish to the 2017 season, and the World No.11 could have possibly ended it with a Grand Slam, if not for Rafael Nadal, who had an impressive year of his own. It would be interesting to see how the Briton copes with the pressure.
