Nick Kyrgios expects "tough" Richard Gasquet contest

Twenty-sixth seed Nick Kyrgios believes that he is in for a "tough" match against France's Richard Gasquet in the fourth round at Wimbledon.

Nick Kyrgios has admitted that he is expecting a "tough" match against Richard Gasquet when the pair meet in the fourth round at Wimbledon.

The Australian came from two sets down and saved nine match points to beat the Frenchman in five sets at SW19 last year on his way to his first Grand Slam quarter-final.

After coming from a set down to beat seventh seed Milos Raonic this afternoon, the 20-year-old told BBC Sport: "It will be tough against Richard Gasquet in the next round. I was two sets to love down against him last year. He is a savvy veteran on tour.

"I will enjoy my day off. I am playing better tennis than last year, moving well. If I play with the same mindset, play aggressively, then I have a pretty high chance to win the match."

Gasquet sealed his spot in round four with a straight-sets win over 2014 semi-finalist Grigor Dimitrov.
