Murray puts pressure on Gasquet

Andy Murray has heaped the pressure on Richard Gasquet ahead of the pair's match at the French Open on Monday afternoon.

World number four Murray booked his place in the last 16 by defeating Santiago Giraldo, while Frenchman Gasquet came from behind to knock out Tommy Haas.

Despite being 16 places above his opponent in the world standings, Murray does not necessarily believe that he is the favourite to progress to the quarter-finals.

"I wouldn't necessarily see myself as the favourite for that one," Murray told reporters.

The winner of Murray versus Gasquet is likely to take on David Ferrer in the quarter-finals.
