Australian Open 2018: Kyle Edmund on 'great opportunity' to reach final

Kyle Edmund will try to extend his remarkable Australian Open run and reach a first Grand Slam final when he takes on Marin Cilic on Thursday.

The 23-year-old Briton, ranked 49th, plays sixth seed Cilic in the Melbourne night session at 08:30 GMT.

Edmund is only the sixth British man to play in a major singles semi-final since tennis went professional in 1968.

There will be live text and radio commentary available on BBC Sport from 08:00.

"There's no reason why I can't go out there and put a good level on the court, enjoy the occasion again," said Edmund.
