Kyle Edmund beat world number three Grigor Dimitrov to reach the semi-finals of the Australian Open.

The 23-year-old, who is currently 49 in the world rankings, becomes only the sixth British man to reach the last four at a Grand Slam in the Open era.

The Yorkshireman won the quarter-final 6-4 3-6 6-3 6-4.

Edmund said after the match: "It's an amazing feeling. With these sort of things, you're emotionally engaged and you don't take it in. At the end of a hard match, I just tried to enjoy the moment.

"It's my first match on this court and it was very special."
