Kyle Edmund, speaking in his post-match press conference:
"Slipped over, it was a bit of a shock. My leg just straightened. In that moment i felt something but I was able to play on. It was a physical match, and the intensity I showed in that first part of the match gradually declined."
"I should have finished the match off in the first part of the match."
"The leg problem didn't hold me back at all, I just physically wasn't able to react."
"A lot of my focus has been to get physically stronger, and I need to improve in that area."
"It's easy to feel sorry for yourself, you've got to take action and I've got to keep going. If I'm honest, I'm not hard done by in life."
"Today it's a lesson learned for me."
Auger-Aliassime comes through 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 against Moutet of France.
