Britain's Kyle Edmund has withdrawn from the French Open with a stomach injury before his match against Nick Kyrgios.

The Englishman, 20, had been scheduled to face the Australian 29th seed in the second round at 10:00 BST on Thursday.

"To avoid making the injury worse I have withdrawn to recover and prepare for the grass,"

The world number 121, who played four matches in seven days in Paris, hopes to return at Queen's Club next month.

Edmund came through three rounds of qualifying at Roland Garros before beating France's Stephane Robert on Monday to claim his first main draw win at a Grand Slam.
