This is no time to party, insists Murray

Andy Murray ended one of the longest waits in British sport by reaching the Wimbledon final last night — but insisted it was not yet time to celebrate.

Murray defeated French fifth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-3 6-4 3-6 7-5 to move into his fourth grand slam title match and become the first home finalist in the men’s singles at the All England Club since Bunny Austin in 1938.

But if the 25-year-old is to end Fred Perry’s 76-year reign as the last British winner of the men’s title, then he will have to defeat Roger Federer, who will aim to equal Pete Sampras’ record of seven Wimbledon titles.
