It's feast or famine for Kyle Edmund after latest first-round exit following defeat by Andreas Seppi



This is proving to be a year of feast or famine for Kyle Edmund. The 23-year-old Briton’s season so far has been highlighted by his memorable run to the semi-finals of the Australian Open in January and his appearance in his first tour-level final in Marrakech two days ago, but he fell at the first hurdle for the third time in his last four tournaments here at the Monte Carlo Masters on Tuesday when he was beaten 6-3, 5-7, 6-2 by Andreas Seppi.

Edmund climbed to a career-high No 23 in the world rankings on Monday after his excellent first week on clay in Morocco, where he eventually lost to Pablo Andujar. Edmund then had to hire a private jet to get him to Monte Carlo in time to practise yesterday, but the task of beating Seppi, a solid and experienced campaigner, less than 48 hours after the final proved beyond him.
