The British number two continued his rapid rise by breaking into the top 40 of the world rankings on Monday on the back of his first ATP Tour semi-final in Antwerp last week.

That run included one of the best wins of his career against Ferrer but Edmund's hopes of a repeat were swiftly dashed.

He lost the opening two games and after only 18 minutes, with the score at 3-2 to Ferrer, decided he could no longer continue because of what appeared to be a hip injury.
