Wimbledon 2018: Novak Djokovic beats Kyle Edmund to end British hopes

British number one Kyle Edmund is out of Wimbledon after three-time champion Novak Djokovic fought back to win their third-round match.

Djokovic, seeded 12th, regained control after 23-year-old Edmund made an encouraging start, going on to win 4-6 6-3 6-2 6-4 on Centre Court.

The 21st seed's exit means there are no British players left in the singles.

Former world number one Djokovic, 31, will play Russian Karen Khachanov in the last 16 on Monday.

Edmund had only won one main-draw match at Wimbledon going into this year's tournament, but carried the nation's hopes in the men's draw after Andy Murray pulled out on the eve of the tournament.
