Kyle Edmund emotional from first ATP win

British number one Kyle Edmund was reduced to tears after winning his first ATP final.

The 23-year-old, ranked 15 in the world, beat Gael Monfils at the European Open in Antwerp 3-6 7-6 (7-2) 7-6 (7-4).

It was only Edmund's second final, having lost 6-2 6-2 to Spain's Pablo Andujar at the Grand Prix Hassan II in Marrakesh in April.

Overcome with emotion following the victory, he spoke to BBC Sport: "A lot of hard work goes into this, it's just the emotion of it.

"It's a great feeling, just overall the bigger picture is the overriding emotion, like so many years putting in the work, on and off the court."
