Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has booked his place in the quarter-finals at Queen's with a three-sets win over Igor Sijsling.

The Frenchman was pushed hard by his Dutch opponent before coming through 7-5 5-7 6-3.

There was little to separate the players in the first set, with both holding their serves well. However, Tsonga made a crucial break while 6-5 ahead, taking the set with his first break point.

The second set continued in a similar fashion to the first with both players giving little away on their own serve, but it was Sijsling who broke in the 11th game before serving out the set 7-5.

Tsonga improved his game in the deciding set, breaking in the fourth game to move 3-1 ahead.

The number four seed maintained his advantage to wrap up the set and seal his progression into the next round.
