Kyle Edmund (born 8 January 1995) is a British professional tennis player, and a Davis Cup champion. He is a top 50 player and the British No. 3 behind Andy Murray and Dan Evans.
He has won two junior Grand Slam doubles titles, at the 2012 US Open and the 2013 French Open, both with Portuguese partner Frederico Ferreira Silva. Edmund was part of the Great Britain team that won the Junior Davis Cup for the first time in 2011.
Edmund made his Davis Cup debut in the 2015 final, against Belgium, with Great Britain winning the Davis Cup, the nation's first success in the tournament for 79 years. The Davis Cup team won the 2015 BBC Sports Personality Team of the Year Award.
Edmund was born in South Africa, but moved to Britain when he was three and grew up in the village of Tickton near Beverley, East Yorkshire.
Initially cricket and swimming were his main childhood pursuits, but he switched to tennis at 10 after lessons at the David Lloyd Racquet and Fitness Club in Hull with coach Richard Plews. He was educated at Pocklington School and Beverley Grammar School and by the age of 13 moved to Cannons in Hull to train with John Black. At 14, he moved with John Black to train at Win Tennis, based at the National Sports Centre in Bisham Abbey. When he was nearly 17, he based himself at the Lawn Tennis Association’s National Training Centre in Roehampton to be coached by Colin Beecher, returning to see his family at weekends.
