Tennis: Tsitsipas through, Clic and Anderson bow out at Queen's

LONDON: Top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas avoided a slip-up at Queen's on Thursday as he breezed past British Number one Kyle Edmund 6-3, 7-5 in their rain-delayed first round match.

Tsitsipas was grateful to polish off Edmund in straight sets after resuming at 3-3 in the second set after rain on Wednesday forced the match into a second day. The world number six also saw his chances of winning a first title on grass helped as defending champion Marin Cilic and last year's Wimbledon finalist Kevin Anderson crashed out in the second round.Anderson, the second seed, looked understandably rusty in his first tournament appearance since March due to injury.

Fifth-seeded Cilic - who also won the Queen's title in 2012 and reached the final on two other occasions - went down 6-4, 6-4 to 26-year-old Argentinian Diego Schwartzmann, who is appearing at Queen's for the first time and recorded just his third win on the surface.
