For the second time in four years, Andy Murray won the Wimbledon title after a 6-4, 7-6, 7-6 victory over Milos Raonic on Sunday.

Murray continued his high level of play on Centre Court as he neutralized the Canadian’s big serve with his strong return of service. And despite breaking the six-seed just once, he swept through the match.

In the first set, both players protected their serve consistently but in the seventh game, the Brit earned his one service break of the match and closed out the set.

In the second set, some wind appeared to temporarily come out of the Raonic sail but he regrouped and forced a tiebreak, where he typically holds an advantage with his powerful serve. But Murray darted out to a 6-1 advantage and never looked back to gain the two-set advantage.

Raonic gave another push in the third set and for the first and only time in the match, he had a look at a couple break points. But Murray recovered from 15-40 deficit in the fifth game to hold serve as play continued. Later, with neither player able to break through on their opponents serve, another tiebreak would decide it.

But much like the second set, the two-seed raced out to an insurmountable lead in the breaker, rolling to a 7-2 win, which sealed the match.

The Brit was strong on his serve throughout the match, winning 87 percent of his first offerings while his brilliant return of serve dampened the Raonic weapon. The 25-year old finished with just 8 aces and won only 64 percent of his first serves. He attempted to pressure Murray, approaching the net 74 times. But Murray played a clean match with 39 winners to just 12 unforced errors.

Afterward, tears of joy flowed as an emotional Murray sat in his chair with his towel covering his face. He addressed the Centre Court crowd during the trophy presentation, “It's the most important tournament for me every year. I've had some great moments here and some tough losses,” he said. “So the win feels extra special because of the tough losses, so I'm proud to have my hands on the trophy again. I played really good stuff today.”

Meanwhile, Raonic stated that he appreciated Murray’s accomplishment and hopes to have his own moment soon. “I think it’s phenomenal for him, to back up his win from three years ago,” he said. “He’s been in many finals since then that he wasn’t able to make the most of. So for him, it’s a big step forward. The next move is up to him. He’s got to go for it. There’re many other guys who will be trying to go for it as well. I know I will.”

With the title, Murray now has his third major championship to go with an Olympic gold medal. He will seek to defend his gold medal in Rio next month.
