Andy Murray wins Wimbledon by beating Milos Raonic

                                    

Britain's Andy Murray became Wimbledon champion for the second time with a superb performance against Canadian sixth seed Milos Raonic in the final.

The Scot, 29, dismantled the Raonic serve in a 6-4 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-2) victory to repeat his triumph of 2013 and claim a third Grand Slam title.

Murray is the first British man to win multiple Wimbledon singles titles since Fred Perry in 1935.

"I'm proud to have my hands on the trophy again," said Murray.

Murray gave a famously tearful speech after losing his first Wimbledon final against Roger Federer in 2012.

Twelve months later he finally ended Britain's 77-year wait for a male champion, and the chance to see him repeat the feat attracted huge attention.

Spectators queued overnight just to grab a spot on Henman Hill, while the Duke and Duchess of Kent, and former champions Bjorn Borg, Stefan Edberg and Boris Becker were among those watching from the royal box.

"This the most important tournament for me every year," added an emotional Murray.

"I've had some great moments here but also some tough losses the wins feels extra special because of the tough losses."

Congratulations to Andy Murray!
