Former British number one Greg Rusedski backs Andy Murray to beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Friday's semi-final at Wimbledon.

Former British number one Greg Rusedski has backed Andy Murray to see off the challenge of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and reach the Wimbledon final.

Murray will meet Tsonga in the semi-finals on Friday following defending champion Novak Djokovic's encounter with Roger Federer on Centre Court.

"Once Nadal dropped out of the draw, I predicted Murray was going to get to the final, and I still believe that," Rusedski told The Guardian.

"After four tight sets against David Ferrer in the quarter-finals, I call four sets again on Friday against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga for Murray to come through.

"I don't think there'll be any mistakes from Murray's camp and his coach, Ivan Lendl, will leave no stone unturned in their preparations."

It is the fourth time in four years that Murray has reached the semis at the All England Club.
