Coral’s bet of the day

• Edmund is ranked over 100 places higher than Diez
• Brit has been in sensational form in recent months
• Home hope Diez won’t faze Edmund who beat Serbia away

Edmund is 9/4 to be leading 2-0 in first set

Kyle Edmund begins his 2016 Rogers Cup (Canada Masters) campaign at roughly 16:00 BST on Monday against home hope Steven Diez in the opening round.

It is from this fixture that Coral have picked our bet of the day for, with hugely tempting odds of 2/1 on offer for the recent British number two to claim a 2-0 lead in the first set.

Read on to find out why this hand-picked price is too good not to take…

Edmund has been in the form of his life of late, after almost single-handedly defeating Serbia away in front of a partisan crowd in the Davis Cup quarters.

The 21-year-old didn’t drop a set in his two singles rubbers against Janko Tipsarevic and Dusan Lajovic, and so should have no troubles facing Canadian-born Diez in front of his own fans either.
