Sixth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga continued his good run of form in the Open 13 in Marseille today as he reached the quarter-finals with a 5-7 6-4 6-2 win over Ukraine’s Sergiy Stakhovsky. Frenchman Tsonga, a finalist in Rotterdam last week, took one hour and 49 minutes to seal his win and was joined in the last eight by fourth-seeded Austrian Jurgen Melzer, who beat Italian Andreas Seppi 7-5 6-3.
In first-round action, Croatian fifth seed Ivan Ljubicic was a 6-2 6-4 winner over Kazakhstan’s Andrey Golubev, while there were also wins for unseeded Frenchman Gilles Simon and German Philipp Petzschner, plus French qualifier Edouard Roger-Vasselin.
