Britain's Kyle Edmund has withdrawn from the French Open with an abdominal injury ahead of his second round match against Australia's Nick Kyrgios.
Edmund was playing in his second consecutive grand slam after coming through qualifying at Roland Garros, and the 20-year-old beat France's Stephane Robert in five sets on Monday to seal his place in round two.
The Briton had been scheduled to play world number 30 Kyrgios on Thursday but an abdominal problem has forced him to pull out.
An official tournament statement read: "British player Kyle Edmund, scheduled to play Australian Nick Kyrgios tomorrow in the second round, has withdrawn from the tournament due to an abdominal muscle lesion.
"In the third round, Kyrgios will meet the winner of the match between British third seed Andy Murray and Portuguese Joao Sousa."
