He's yet to face a break point against Raonic #Wimbledon https://t.co/ozJCk4JEjp
Raonic is still not able to get the first break point against Murray’s service.

Brilliant display of tennis by Murray, tie-break and 6-4 7-6 (3) lead.

...and Murray wins the point https://t.co/48hT1wXHsX
Murray clearly upped his serve, he is getting it right most of the time. Raonic is not able to convert the serves. The boys have hit 14 winners, Murray has only five unforced errors, Raonic 12.

Murray wraps up a clinical first set 6-4. The break in the seventh game worked wonders.

Some expert defence puts Murray in control on Raonic's serve & he breaks to go 4-3 up #Wimbledon pic.twitter.com/vIUZ3dIFtN

Raonic holds his third service game to love. This is a perfect time for the Canadian to bounce back. He didn’t have a good second service game.
Raonic 3-2 Murray
Nerves? No sign of them so far from Raonic, who has settled into the occasion nicely. It's 2-2 #Wimbledon pic.twitter.com/U7IBO6Xup6

Raonic 1-1 Murray
Canadian wins another point from the net, but Murray is still leading 30-15.
Raonic drops first point on second serve but controls the damage with next strokes to make it 40-15. Wow! There is a 17-shot rally.
The players start their warm-up rallies; it is a repeat of the Aegon Championships final when Murray fought back, from one set and a break behind, to win. Raonic should have learnt from his mistakes.
Raonic wins toss, serves.
Live updates, coming soon!
It's time.

On the other hand, Murray will be keen to wrap his third title.
If Raonic overcomes the Briton, he will be the first player from Canada to win a Grand Slam.
He will face Raonic, the Canadian, in his own backyard. It will be Raonic’s first final.
There is no Roger Federer or a Novak Djokovic breathing down his neck.
Murray is back in a Grand Slam final for the 11th time and for a change, the road seems easy.
