US Open: Kyle Edmund on returning to Grand Slam singles tennis after knee injury

Returning to the tennis world has given Kyle Edmund that sort of weird feeling you get when you've not been somewhere for a while.

Edmund, 27, was away from the ATP Tour for almost two years because of a serious knee injury that left him wondering if he would ever return.

Three operations later, and after hours of rehab and soul-searching, the 2018 Australian Open semi-finalist is gearing up for his Grand Slam singles comeback when the US Open starts on Monday.

"It does feel a little bit like I'm starting my career all over again," said Edmund, who plays Norwegian fifth seed Casper Ruud about 18:00 BST after entering the main draw thanks to a protected injury ranking.
