Frenchman revelling in underdog tag

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is hoping the underdog tag will work in his favour when he takes on Andy Murray at Wimbledon on Wednesday. The Frenchman will take to Centre Court in his first Wimbledon quarter-final and insists there will be no pressure on him to win - something he hopes will help him against the home favourite. The 10th seed may be the 3-1 outsider with Sky Bet but on his day can be very difficult to beat, as Murray found two years ago when Tsonga beat him on the way to reaching the final of the Australian Open. "I know Andy likes grass, he plays well on this surface," he said. "He is at home and he will give everything, I know that. "Obviously I will be the outsider and maybe the pressure will be on his shoulders because for me I have nothing to lose. I will play the first quarter-final in my career here at Wimbledon. So I have everything to win in this match. "I feel confident. I know I can beat everybody. So I will play my game. I will try to play relaxed and be offensive and that's it." Murray, though, is certainly taking nothing for granted against Tsonga, saying: "He's got a big game and he's a very good athlete. It's going to be a very, very tough match. "He's very exciting to watch. I'm sure there will be some great shots played in the match."
