Kyle Steven Edmund (born 8 January 1995) is a South African-born British professional tennis player.

Edmund began on the ITF Futures circuit in April 2010 at the Great Britain F5 in Bournemouth, losing the first qualifier match.

It was a full year before Edmund played another Futures, again at the Great Britain F5 in Bournemouth, this time as a wild card in the main draw, but was beaten in the first round.

After playing 18 Futures events, in October Edmund won his first tournament in Birmingham, Alabama, US.

Edmund played in his first ATP tour match in June when he was awarded a Wildcard for the annual Queen's Club tournament in London, losing to Slovenian Grega Žemlja, but that didn't dent his confidence as he then won his first senior match at the Aegon International in Eastbourne.

Following a wildcard entrance into the tournament, he defeated the world No. 82 Kenny de Schepper, ranked 360 places above him, in straight sets.

Edmund then lost two close sets to world No. 17 Gilles Simon, both completed in tie-breaks.

At Wimbledon, his first senior appearance at a Grand Slam tournament, he entered five separate tournaments, receiving wildcards into the men's singles and doubles due to his junior success.

Edmund was part of the Great Britain team that won the Junior Davis Cup for the first time in 2011.

Edmund was born in Johannesburg, South Africa.

His father, Steven, was born in Wales but was raised in Zimbabwe and lived in South Africa.

His mother, Denise (née Vosloo) was from South Africa.

He moved to Britain when he was three and grew up in the village of Tickton near Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire.

Steven is a director of a renewable energy company.

His parents invested tens of thousands into their son's tennis until the LTA provided funding through Aegon that took care of travel and coaching.

Initially cricket and swimming were his main childhood pursuits, but he switched to tennis at 10 after lessons at the David Lloyd Racquet and Fitness Club in Hull with coach Richard Plews.

He was educated at Pocklington School and Beverley Grammar School and by the age of 13 moved to Cannons in Hull to train with John Black.

At 14, he moved with John Black to train at Win Tennis, based at the National Sports Centre at Bisham Abbey, Berkshire.

When he was nearly 17, he based himself at the Lawn Tennis Association's National Training Centre in Roehampton to be coached by Colin Beecher, returning to see his family at weekends.

Edmund made his first breakthrough on the Junior circuit in 2011, when he reached the semifinals of the US Open boys' singles event, where he was defeated by top seed and eventual runner-up Jiří Veselý of the Czech Republic.

Playing in the Great Britain Under 16 boys team, with Evan Hoyt and Luke Bambridge, they won the European Summer Cup defeating Italy in the final.

Great Britain won the Junior Davis Cup tournament for the first time after beating Italy in the final in San Luis Potosí, Mexico.

Coached by Greg Rusedski, the team of Edmund, Evan Hoyt and Luke Bambridge justified their top seeding in the event.

The following year he won his first junior Grand Slam title, at the boys' doubles event of the US Open, partnered by Portuguese player Frederico Ferreira Silva.

The two defeated Australian duo Nick Kyrgios and Jordan Thompson in the final, after losing the first set.

He has won two junior Grand Slam doubles titles, at the 2012 US Open and the 2013 French Open, both with partner Frederico Ferreira Silva.

Edmund reached a career high of No. 8 in the combined ITF junior rankings in January 2012, reaching at least the quarterfinals of all four junior slams in singles.

At the French Open, Edmund and Silva won their second Grand Slam title, defeating Chilean pair Cristian Garín and Nicolás Jarry in the final.

Edmund made his Davis Cup debut in the 2015 final, against Belgium, with Great Britain winning the tournament for the first time in 79 years.

The Davis Cup team won the 2015 BBC Sports Personality Team of the Year Award.

In December 2017, Edmund moved his official residence from the UK to Nassau, Bahamas to maximise his off-season preparation in a warmer climate, and to have a closer base to the US, though his move has been criticised as being financially opportunistic and motivated by tax.

Kyle Edmund is sometimes referred to as "Kedders".

He is also a football fan and supports Liverpool F.C.

He has a career-high singles ranking of world No. 14 and was the top-ranked male British tennis player from March 2018 to October 2019.

Edmund is an Australian Open semifinalist, and only the sixth British man to play in a major singles semifinal in the Open Era.

He won his maiden ATP Tour title at Antwerp in October 2018.
