Wimbledon results: Andy Murray defeats Milos Raonic to win title

In a classic battle of a great server versus a great returner, this time the returner won.

No. 2 Andy Murray defeated No. 6 Milos Raonic on Sunday, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-2), to win his second career Wimbledon title and his third Grand Slam.

"I've had some great moments here and also some tough losses," Murray said after the match. "Obviously the wins feel extra special because of the tough losses, so I'm proud to have my hands on the trophy again."

The 29-year-old from Scotland was the top seed remaining in the tournament after a third-round loss by Novak Djokovic, and he certainly played like it.

Raonic, 25, made history by becoming the first Canadian man to advance to a Grand Slam final, but showed inexperience in key moments during the match.

Murray executed his game plan by putting the ball in play on Raonic's big first serves, and picking up crucial breaks when the opportunity would arise. He also maintained his own strong serving performance, as he was not broken once in the final.

Raonic came in averaging 22.8 aces in the first six matches of Wimbledon, and had won 83 percent of first serve points. He wasn't nearly as effective on Sunday, winning only 67 percent of first serve points with only eight aces.

The first turning point in the match came when Murray broke to go up 4-3 in the first set. That gave him the cushion needed to finish off the set, 6-4.

Murray had a break point in the seventh game of the second set as well, but Raonic fought it off to keep the set on serve. Raonic fought off two more break points to take a 5-4 lead but the set ended up in a tiebreak, which Murray dominated.

The tiebreak in the final set went similarly, as Murray won the first five points to all but clinch his title win.

Murray previously won Wimbledon in 2013. His only other Grand Slam victory came in 2012, when he won the U.S. Open.
