French tennis player Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has shrugged off any advantage France might have on paper ahead of their Davis Cup by BNP Paribas quarterfinal against Argentina and insists there is little to separate the two nations, Davis Cup official website reported.

“We are not favorites for the moment,” insisted Tsonga. “Argentina still has Nalbandian, who [has] won some big tournaments in the past. When you have a champion like this, [the ability] stays forever, so I think for one match [he could be] very dangerous. And then you have guys who are very [passionate], like Berlocq, to fight for their country.

“It’s going to be a good match between two good teams, and I think there is no favorite in this one. Maybe [Argentina] has the advantage because [they] play at home.”
