Kyle Edmund came of age with victory over Serbias Dusan Lajovic to lead defending champions Great Britain into the semifinals of the Davis Cup.The 21-year-old was given the responsibility of being Britains number one player in only his second Davis Cup tie after Andy Murray pulled out.Edmund secured his first win in the competition in impressive fashion against Janko Tipsarevic on Friday and, after Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot put Britain 2-1 up in Belgrade on Saturday, found himself in the position of trying to win the tie.He played superbly until nerves kicked in when he served for the match in the third set but recovered his composure to win 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7/5).The victory extended Britains winning run in the competition to six ties and set up a semifinal against Argentina in September, probably in Glasgow.Andy Murray may well play in that one, making Britain firm favourites to reach the final once again.It was a rather different Sunday for the world number two, who seven days after winning Wimbledon found himself sitting in conditions more typical of a Scottish summer as he cheered on Edmund.But persistent drizzle did not prevent the match starting on time and Edmund, ranked 14 places above his opponent at 67 in the world, immediately took control.Lajovic is a solid player and a very good mover on clay but the 26-year-old does not have a shot to rival Edmunds forehand -- he hit 27 winners off that wing alone -- and it was soon doing plenty of damage.The result ended up as 3-2 to Britain after Tipsarevic defeated James Ward 6-2, 3-6, 7-5 in the dead rubber.Edmund broke serve for the first time in the sixth game and showed his confidence by serving out the set with two aces. The only real moments of danger for the Yorkshireman came in the middle of the second set.First he was distracted by noise from the crowd when he threatened another break at 2-2, and then he found himself facing a first break point. But he held, broke for 4-3 and then put behind him the disappointment of missing two set points on the Lajovic serve to clinch it confidently on his third chance.Lajovics only hope appeared to be for the occasion to get to Edmund, and that finally happened when he served for the match at 5-4 in the third set.The young Britons first serve deserted him and Lajovic broke for the first time.The Serbian then twice forced set point on Edmunds serve but could not take either.Lajovic led 4-2 in the tie-break but Edmund again used his forehand to fight back and brought up his first match point at 5-6.When Lajovic drove a backhand wide, Edmund dropped to the clay in celebration before being embraced by captain Leon Smith and the rest of the team.Although Serbia were severely weakened by the absence of Novak Djokovic and Viktor Troicki, this was Britains first win at World Group level without Murray since 1986 and, coming away from home on clay, represents another hugely notable achievement for Smiths men.Meanwhile, British number four Dan Evans has turned down the chance to represent Britain at the Olympics. The 26-year-old was the next in line following Tomas Berdychs withdrawal on Saturday but, given the late notice and the lack of ranking points on offer, has opted to stick to his planned schedule.

Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. Robin McBryde warned his Wales players that nobody is safe and places will be up for grabs when Japan visit the Principality Stadium on Saturday.Coach Rob Howley has made 10 changes follow last weekends narrow victory over Argentina with Jamie Roberts, Alex Cuthbert, Samson Lee and Dan Lydiate all being recalled following the heavy defeat to Australia earlier this month.And with South Africa looming in next weeks autumn finale, McBryde issued a rallying call to the squad.The challenge for this group of players is to build on the performance last week against Argentina, he added. We all know what is ahead of us next week with regards to South Africa, and places are up for grabs.Tomorrow will be about how well this team gels together and hopefully puts a performance up in front of a full house. There are certain things that we need to improve on after the Argentina game, and this is their opportunity tomorrow.I think the team against Argentina certainly laid down the gauntlet with regards to that performance, and the message has been clear to this group of players tomorrow that they have got to build on that.Nobody is safe, nobody is assured of their position, so hopefully tomorrow we will see this group of players go out with the bit between their teeth and with a point to prove.ddddddddddddJapan have conceded a total of 289 points on their four previous Cardiff visits to face Wales, and while memories remain fresh of their staggering World Cup triumph against South Africa last year, the current squad is in transition under new head coach Jamie Joseph.But the Brave Blossoms showcased their attacking ability by beating Georgia from limited possession last Saturday, and McBryde added: We need to be accurate in everything we do. We cant afford to give Japan any loose ball.If we are accurate in what we do, focus on the things that weve done in training and bring that to the game tomorrow, we are not going to be far away.It is a different challenge. They showed how dangerous they can be with loose ball against Georgia, and we have got to be aware of that.For us, there was a level of performance against Argentina that was a reaction to a poor one against Australia, and we are looking to build this week.Information from the Press Association contributed to this story.?
