Not only has he carried the British flag in the absence of injured Andy Murray, Edmund has overcome searing temperatures of up to 40 degrees.

Cilic, who has 17 career titles, booked his semi-final place after world No 1 Rafael Nadal was forced to retire injured early in the fifth set of a gruelling encounter.

The Croatian world No 6 won 3-6 6-3 6-7(5) 6-2 6-0 in three hours and 47 minutes.

He reached only his second semi-final at Melbourne Park and claimed his first victory over Nadal since 2009.

Edmund and Cilic have met just once before in last year's Shanghai Masters when Cilic won in two sets.
