Canada’s Denis Shapovalov has advanced to the fourth round of the U.S. Open after British opponent Kyle Edmund retired with an injury.
The left-hander from Richmond Hill, Ont., was leading 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, 1-0 before Edmund abandoned the match.
While leading the third set 3-2, Edmund took a medical timeout and needed a trainer to stretch and treat his left shoulder, neck and back.
Shapovalov pressed Edmund as soon as play resumed to tie the set 3-3 and then again to take a 4-3 lead, winning 10 consecutive points as the match’s momentum shifted.

Although Edmund eventually won a pair of points, Shapovalov took the third set 6-3.
The 18-year-old Shapovalov continued to take advantage of Edmund’s hampered mobility and inability to stretch out on returns by firing a pair of aces to start the fourth set before the Briton retired.
