Andy Murray defeated Milos Raonic 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2) on Sunday to win his second Wimbledon title. Murray joins Fred Perry as the only British man to win multiple Wimbledon titles since 1922, the first year the tournament was played without the challenge round.

This was the 10th meeting between Murray and Raonic, and Murray has won the past six. This includes the final of last month’s Queen’s Club Championship. It was the first time since 1988 that both Queen’s finalists went on to face off in the Wimbledon final that same year.

Murray also won both Queen’s and Wimbledon in 2013, and he is only the third player in the Open Era to win both tournaments in the same year on multiple occasions. The others are John McEnroe (1981 and 1984) and Pete Sampras (1995 and 1999).

Murray’s victory at Wimbledon came after losing in the final of each of the first two majors this year. He is only the second man in tennis history to win the third major of a year after losing in the final of the first two, joining Frank Sedgman in 1952.

This is Murray’s eighth grass-court title, tied for the fourth most in the Open era. Only Roger Federer, Pete Sampras and Jimmy Connors have more grass-court titles in that span.

With Murray’s win, "The Big Four" (Djokovic, Murray, Federer and Nadal) have accounted for 42 of the 47 (89 percent) Grand Slam titles since the start of 2005.

How he won

Murray’s serve was a big key to victory. He won 18 of 21 (86 percent) points on his first serve in the first set, and 60 of 69 (87 percent overall). Murray had seven aces to Raonic’s eight, a surprise given that Murray had 51 aces compared with Raonic’s 137 entering the final.

As a result of his impressive serve, Murray did not face a break point until the fifth game of the third set, and faced just two overall, winning them both.

Murray entered the final leading the tournament in break points won, and that did not change, as he broke Raonic once in the first set in the only break of the entire match by either player.

While Murray and Raonic had the same amount of winners (39) in the match, it was Murray’s lack of unforced errors that helped him win. Murray had a total of 12 unforced errors, including just six in the first two sets. By comparison, Raonic had 29 unforced errors, including 21 in the first two sets.

Once Murray won the first two sets, it was all but over. No man in the Open era has ever come back to win a Wimbledon final when down two sets to none. The last man to win any Grand Slam final when down two sets to none was Gaston Gaudio at the 2004 French Open.
