British No 2 Kyle Edmund has reached his third semi-final of the season after cruising past Jan-Lennard Struff at the Erste Bank Open in Vienna.

Edmund dropped just two points on his first serve as he beat his German opponent 6-2, 7-5 in 75 minutes.

Next up will be either Lucas Pouille or Richard Gasquet, and the chance to reach his first ever final at ATP World Tour level.

In the other half of the draw, top seed Alexander Zverev plays Frenchman Jo Wilfried Tsonga and Argentina's Diego Schwartzman takes on Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany.

Edmund's victory in this quarter-final against Struff was never in doubt from the moment he broke his opponent's serve in the opening game of the match.

He broke again midway through the first set, which he took in 28 minutes, losing just five points on his own serve.

His own delivery looked impenetrable until he was serving for the match, when Struff broke him, but he immediately replied and did not waste his second chance, seeing out an impressive victory.
