Andy has continued his good return to the tour with a comfortable win over Llodra in Metz this evening.
Murray faltered only once in the first set on the way to his 6-4, 6-3 victory over the Frenchman.
This convincing win stands Andy in good stead as the relatively straightforward draw means he has a good chance of making his first tour final since defending his title in San Jose in February. Murray faces Tsonga in the quarter-final.
The pair have never met on the main tour, however Tsonga does lead their head-to-head with a win over Andy at the Nottingham Challenger 2004. Andy is the clear favourite currently ranked 43 places above the Frenchman.
