What a turn of events in Andy's quarter of the draw!
L16: (8) Andy Murray WR 9 "defeated" (12) Richard Gasquet (FRA) WR 13 by a walkover No wonder the match never came up on bet365!

QF: (13) Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) WR 15 vs (8) Andy Murray WR 9
The head-to-head on the main tour is 9-1 in Andy's favour, five of those nine coming on hard courts. JWT's solitary win was also on hard: that infamous victory in the first round of the Oz Open in 2008!
Andy v Tsonga is scheduled for not before 6pm UK time tonight. I'll have to persuade the other half to have his dinner a bit early (I can't get away with altering the clock, it's radio controlled).
He's looked pretty solid but I'm not really seeing a weapon. I used to be pretty confident that he could capitalise on opportunities such as a short return but I haven't been since his return from injury. Tsonga's serve has been great though.
