Britain's Kyle Edmund reached the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time after coming from a set down to oust Italian Andreas Seppi 6-7(4) 7-5 6-2 6-3 in the fourth round of the Australian Open on Sunday. "He plays very well here, he has reached the fourth round a few times and is playing very well but so was I," the unassuming Yorkshireman said on court. Edmund duly delivered with 23 unforced errors as Seppi, a decade older and a veteran of three previous trips to the fourth round of the Australian Open, held serve with ease and mustered up five break points. "It was a close first set and I didn't feel I got the best start," he said. In the second set I tried to shift the momentum and once I broke him in the last game of the second set I took control of the match."
