Will Jo-Wilfried Tsonga be on the receiving end of a shock?
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga appears to face a daunting task to emulate his run to the final of this event in 2008. He is due to meet Kei Nishikori in the fourth round and Novak Djokovic in the last eight, but he would be advised not to take his eye off the ball, so to speak, when he meets his fellow Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert on Rod Laver.
Herbert, 24, is a qualifier ranked at 169 in the world, but his lowly status belies his ability. He has a big serve and some huge groundstrokes which could unsettle Tsonga if he is not on his guard. Could easily relieve Tsonga of a set or two. You can discover if he takes more from the day by making sure you don't conk out.
