Kyle Edmund's run at the 2016 US Open is over after world number one Novak Djokovic recorded a 6-2 6-1 6-4 victory in their fourth-round clash in New York on Sunday night.

Edmund had beaten two seeds to reach the round of 16 of a Grand Slam for the first time, but the 21-year-old had no answer to the class of Djokovic, who completed a match for just the second time in this year's competition.

It was a routine first set for Djokovic, who secured two breaks on his way to moving ahead in the match, before winning the second set 6-1 courtesy of three breaks, two of which allowed the Serbian to take a 4-0 lead.

Edmund secured two breaks of his own in the third and what proved to be final set, but Djokovic broke three times, including at 4-5 to march into the quarter-finals once again.

The defending champion will take on France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga for a place in the semi-finals.
