Jo-Wilfried Tsonga falls as Queen’s shocks continue

The Frenchman failed to penetrate his opponent’s awkward serve-volley game in a 6-4 6-4 defeat.

"My serve is working great and it's good at this time of the year on the grass," said Muller.

He joins Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka and Milos Raonic on the scrapheap after the top three seeds fell on Tuesday, with fourth seed Marin Cilic hoping to avoid the same fate in his last 16 clash with Stefan Kozlov on Thursday.

"It doesn't affect anything for me," Tsonga said.

"I'm used to being in this kind of position. I won only 15 tournaments in my career and I played maybe 200, maybe more, I don't know.

"So most of the time I'm going home with a loss. I'm just used to it and tomorrow I will continue to practice to be better and better."

Muller’s reward is a quarter-final with either late call-up Jordan Thompson, who stunned world number one Murray, or American Sam Querrey.
