After losing the third 6-3 he battled on for one more game before calling it quits.

"It’s never great to win this way. Hopefully it (Edmund’s injury) is nothing too serious," Shapovalov said.

"It’s very unfortunate but I’m happy to be in the fourth round."

Edmund's withdrawal means Shapovalov is the youngest man to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam since Marat Safin in the French Open in 1998.
