The Scot, who is bidding to become the first Brit since Bunny Austin in 1938 to reach the Wimbledon singles final, is wary of his latest obstacle at SW19. “My next match will be tough. He (Tsonga) is playing a terrific game and is a tricky opponent. He has variety and mixes his game very well.”
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
Both Murray and Tsonga are yet to win a Gand Slam title, and Tsonga is not worried about Murray’s home advantage. “I know it will be tough to play Andy with the home crowd and his favourite surface. But, I’m playing well. I feel comfortable here on grass. It’s a matter of few points that really counts and I am sure I will be composed.” said Tsonga, who defeated Germany’s Philipp Kohlschreiber 7-6 (7/5), 4-6, 7-6 (7/3), 6-2 to book a second successive semis appearance here.u00a0
