The last action that Edmund had was a loss in his first match at the ATP Masters 1000 Rome event, going down in three sets.

Lloyd Harris Preview – Harris looks to kick into gear
There was a really good start to the year for South Africa’s LLoyd Harris as he reached the final of Adelaide in January.
That was after having started in the first qualifying round, so that was quite the run from the 23 year old.
He resumed action this year with an appearance at the ATP MAsters 1000 Cincinnati where he came through two qualifying rounds before falling in the first round of the main draw.
Lloyd did make the second round at the US Open and again on his most recent tournament appearance, at the French Open.
Lloyd is ranked outside of the top 90 in the world at the moment, significantly below Edmund who is a top-fifty player.
That is reflected in the outright odds for tennis betting in his match.
Lloyd Harris is an 11/8 quote there for the victory* (odds taken 23:36 GMT, Monday, 12th October).

Lloyd Harris is W8 L9 overall this season on the ATP Tour and seven of those wins have come on the hard court.
The one big star here is that Harris has not won a match after having dropped the first set.

In the games handicap a Kyle Edmund is at 19/20 as an option* (odds taken 23:36 GMT, Monday, 12th October).
