Milos Raonic first Canadian man to play in Wimbledon final

Milos Raonic reached his first grand slam final against home favourite Andy Murray after the world number seven stunned Roger Federer with a dramatic five-set win at Wimbledon yesterday.

Federer looked on course for victory when leading two sets to one but the Swiss was halted first by a thigh problem and then his gutsy opponent, as Raonic sealed a 6-3 6-7 (3/7) 4-6 7-5 6-3 triumph.

Raonic, coached by John McEnroe, will be the first Canadian man to play in the major final when he faces Scotland’s Andy Murray tomorrow.
