Murray takes on the French world No 6 set on becoming the first British male to reach the SW19 final since Bunny Austin in 1938.
And the boxing nut Scot will be fired up like Mike Tyson before his semi-final crunch.
Murray said: “Boxers put themselves in danger if they’re not focused. They’re amazing athletes and so strong mentally.
“From what I’ve heard, a lot are very fearful in the locker room. They think about losing and get scared.
"Mike Tyson has revealed he often walked to the ring petrified he might lose. But as soon as he stepped in there, he thought nobody could beat him. He felt invincible.
“Those are the sorts of thing I try to draw from a little and, hopefully, that helps me against Tsonga.”
Murray, in his fourth consecutive semi, added: “I’m in a good place. This year has been one of my toughest draws, so I have had to play some of my best tennis to get here.”
Muzza mania is reaching fever pitch, with a pair of tickets for Sunday’s final predicted to hit £45,000 should he make it.
