NEW YORK — On Monday, Kyle Edmund stunned 13th seed Richard Gasquet in the first round of the US Open. The 21-year-old got the biggest win of his career handily, 6-2, 6-2, 6-3.
"Yeah, on ranking I think, yeah, it's probably my best win. And the way I went about it, the way I played, a lot of things went well..." he said. "Very encouraging the way I played, the way I handled myself, dealt with situations. I thought I was smart with the way I played when I needed to be in certain situations."
While his many British fans raved over his performance, his compatriot and Davis Cup teammate took the opportunity to backhandedly congratulate him.
