Murray beats Raonic to clinch second Wimbledon title

Britain’s Andy Murray clinched a second Wimbledon title and third Grand Slam crown on Sunday when he downed misfiring Milos Raonic of Canada 6-4, 7-6 (7/3), 7-6 (7/2).

“It’s the most important tournament for me every year. I’ve had some great moments and tough losses. I played some really good stuff today,” Murray said.

“The wins feel extra special because of the tough losses. I’m proud to have my hands on the trophy again.”

Murray faced just two break points in the two hour 48 minute encounter while 25-year-old Raonic, who had clobbered 137 aces going into the final, managed just eight on Sunday.

“It’s a difficult challenge. Andy has been playing great and he deserved to win, congratulations to him,” Raonic said.

“This one is going to sting. I’m going to make sure I do everything I can to be back here for another chance.”
