PARIS (Reuters) - As the last home player left in the singles draw, Richard Gasquet hopes a partisan crowd will help cheer him to victory in his first French Open quarter-final when he takes on Britain's Andy Murray on Tuesday.

Spectators, mostly Gasquet supporters, turned up the volume on Sunday as he slugged it out with his last-16 opponent, fifth seeded Kei Nishikori, on a packed Court Philippe Chatrier.
