It’s Andy Murray vs Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the Rogers Cup on August 8.

The match is slated to start at 1 p.m. EDT (7 p.m. GMT) in Toronto.

The game is being broadcast on Sky Sports 3 in the United Kingdom.

Live streaming will be available via Sky Sports and Watch ESPN.

Tsonga of France, ranked No. 13, stunned No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2 in the third round.

“It’s not every day you get the rewards of what you’re doing every day during the year,” he said. “You leave your family, practice every day hard, suffer a lot on the court. And when you win a match like this, you just feel good.”

Murray, No. 8, automatically advanced  when third-round opponent Richard Gasquet withdrew because of an abdominal strain.

Tsonga and Murray have played a dozen times since 2004, with Murray winning nine times. Rsonga won their first match in two sets and their third match, at the Australian Open in 2008, in four sets, but didn’t win again until the Mubadala World Tennis Championship in 2013.

Although Murray has won so many times in the head-to-head, many of the matches have been close, and often come in the quarterfinals, semifinals, or finals of tournaments.

Murray is currently ranked ninth in the world while Tsonga is ranked 15th.
