The British number one has rediscovered his touch recently, and he was far too good for Andreas Seppi, who he beat 6-3 6-4.
Edmund had to save a break point in the third match, and the pair exchanged three breaks of serve in the first set, but once the 23-year-old found his rhythm he was too strong for the Italian.
