Prior to his career as a professional tennis player, Edmund was born in January 1995, in South Africa before moving to the UK at the age of three. Before he found his passion for tennis, cricket and swimming were his interests.
Clearly showing huge potential, the 23-year-old moved to Roehampton with coach, Colin Beecher at the age of 14 – where he would train during the week and visit home on the weekends. His parents, Steven and Denise showed countless support and invested a lot of money into his career until he was offered funding by the LTA provided through Aegon.
