London, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 30th Oct, 2018 ) :Kyle Edmund was forced to end his season on Tuesday as the British number one withdrew from the Paris Masters with a knee injury.

Edmund has been advised to rest after scans showed a small amount of fluid behind his left knee.

The 23-year-old hopes to recover in time for the start of the 2019 season.

It has been a breakthrough year for world number 15 Edmund, who won his first ATP Tour title and also reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open in January.
