Day Eight: Tsonga battles into the last eight

Eighth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has battled his way into the last eight of the Australian Open after defeating fellow Frenchman Richard Gasquet.

Tsonga won through a tough test on the Rod Laver Arena after a 6-4 3-6 6-4 6-2 win over Gasquet.

Tsonga’s game has been raised a level thanks to Rasheed, who Tsonga revealed is working on “everything” to make him better.

“It's different because last year I was by myself,” Tsonga said, noting he was coachless prior to Rasheed.

“This year, I'm with Rog. It's just great to be with him. He give me good advice, so I hope I will continue to play good tennis and hope we'll have some good victory together.”

Tsonga will either face Roger Federer or Milos Raonic in his quarter-final match on Wednesday.
