"It's always a team effort, but in the back of your mind you know what's on (the) line," Edmund said. BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) " Kyle Edmund stepped into the role of Andy Murray and took titleholder Britain into the semifinals of the Davis Cup by beating Dusan Lajovic of Serbia in straight sets in the first of the reverse singles on Sunday. He has a great forehand with a lot of spin," Lajovic said. Lajovic sent a wild backhand way wide to give Edmund a match point and the Briton converted when Lajovic hit another backhand wide. In the final and meaningless match, Janko Tipsarevic beat James Ward 6-2, 3-6, 7-5 to leave the final score at 3-2 for Britain.
