26 September 2017 10:54

Kyle Edmund returned to action with a comfortable win over Bernard Tomic in the opening round of the Chengdu Open.

The British number two was playing his first match since retiring during his third-round clash against Denis Shapovalov at the US Open with a back problem.

Edmund was particularly dominant on first serve in his 6-4 6-2 win against Australia's Tomic, winning 23 of 25 points and hitting nine aces.

In the second round in China, sixth seed Edmund will face 20-year-old American Jared Donaldson.
