A big serve from Edmund brings up 30-30.
A crunching stand-and-deliver forehand is past Verdasco's racquet with space to spare. And then the Spaniard can only pat his return long after a spicy serve.

Boris Becker
Three-time Wimbledon champion on BBC TVThere's still a lack of belief in the Kyle Edmund game.
He's got all the shots and has been playing well today but he hasn't beaten any of the big guys in a while and that's the kind of thing that plays on your mind in the big moments.

Fist clenched, arm punching the air, legs stomping around the ring, mouth telling the home fans to come with him.
