Jo-Wilfried Tsonga says that Andy Murray is a better player than him but that he still has a chance of upsetting the Brit on his home soil.

French number one Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has admitted that he isn't looking forward to facing Andy Murray in the semi-finals at Wimbledon.

The 27-year-old advanced from the last eight after defeating Philipp Kohlschreiber in four sets and now meets British number one Murray on his home turf.

Despite his admiration for the Scot, Tsonga is still confident that he can upset the crowd favourite.

"Andy's one of the players I don't like to play because he returns really well and he can play some really good passing shots. He's really quick. It's tough for me," Tsonga said.

"But I beat him once [at the 2008 Australian Open]. And last time we played together on grass, I had a match point and it was really close. That was last year in the final in Queen's.

"I will have a chance. At 100% I have maybe less than him, but I will have some chances and I will try to take them."

Novak Djokovic takes on Roger Federer in the other semi-final.
