Men's Final Build Up Wimbledon

Around here, they honour home-grown heroes, Angela, Anne, Virginia,

Fred. Today, and other plays in the men's singles final again. --

another. For so long, Andy Murray has walked in the shadow of Perry,

but down the years Fred's bests have become Andy's bests. In 2012, Murray

became Britain's first Grand Slam champion since Perry. In 2013,

Murray became Britain's first Wimbledon champion since Perry. The

waiting is over! In 2015, Murray spearheaded his country's Davis Cup

tribe, just as Perry has almost eight decades before. -- triumph.

Now, in 2016, Andy plays in his third Wimbledon final and his third

Grand Slam final of the year, emulating totals achieved by Perry.

It is also Murray's 11 career Grand Slam final, one more than Fred. A

second Wimbledon title would see him stand alongside Nadal. Feels good?

Unbelievable, thank you very much! Jimmy Connors. He has done it,

proving them all wrong. To achieve that, though, he will have to

overcome Milos Raonic, himself hoping to write his own bit of

history and become Canada's first-ever Wimbledon singles

champion. Whatever happens, we shouldn't take Murray for granted.

We will miss him when he is gone. Andy is a statue in waiting.

There are days in our lives that are pressures for so many reasons. Days

which involve family, friendship, love the ones. Days which we will

never forget. And among other moments we never forget, days in our

sporting lives, days that we personally experience, or ones we

follow was fans, supporters, spectators. These moments are so

precious because they don't come often in our lifetime. National

celebration, national joy, national pride. Today, Sunday July the tenth

2016, is one of those days. Because here at Wimbledon, Britain's Andy

Murray faces Canadian Milos Raonic in one of the greatest sporting

theatres in the world, with a second men's title in his sights. This is

the ultimate prize both Murray and Raonic are focused on, the Challenge

Cup. It is made of silvergilt, stands 18 inches high, and back in

1887 it cost 100 guineas. For today's winner, who will receive ?2

million, the prestige of lifting it will be priceless.

Andy Murray as the favourite. This is a third Wimbledon final, he has

won one, lost one, but he is the man in form, as this is his third

successive Grand Slam final in 2016. The last two Novak Djokovic in both

the Australian and French Open finals, but today is his Serbian

nemesis is not his opponent. -- he lost to. Today, this is the man who

faces Murray, Milos Raonic, a man mountain of a Canadian who was

proved to have the nerve and serve to win at a Grand Slam. He has the

game for grass, he is cool, calm and unconjugated, and with John McEnroe

as his coach and consultant, he has been tutored in the attitude needed

to win a major title. Earlier, Andy arrived, knowing this afternoon he

could cement his place as one of the all-time greats of British sport. Is

there a better sports man or woman in Britain at the moment? You

yourselves can decide that, but we are blessed to have him, and today

could be one of his greatest triumphs. As for Milos, he is aiming

for some sporting history himself. No Canadian man or woman has ever

won a Grand Slam. Born in Montenegro, he moved to North

America when he was three. He idolised Wimbledon champion Pete

Sampras, and comparisons have been made between him and the legendary

seven times champion. So this is the final, Raonic against

Murray, what an afternoon we have in store here at Wimbledon.

CHEERING Yes, what an atmosphere here at

Wimbledon, a huge day for British tennis, a huge day for British

sport, we have made our way up here! And the man who owns the hill, Tim,

is with me, along with Lleyton Hewitt. Do you have a hill in

Melbourne? I certainly don't, but what a build-up! And believable! We

were nervous before that! I have really enjoyed the build-up to this

final, it has played out so well for Andy Murray, he has got so much

support today, and he has to really embrace that and use that support.

It is a big day for British tennis, put it into some context. Well, it

is, with what Andy has done in the last ten years with his career, this

is his 11th Grand Slam final, I think it is really interesting to

reflect that in his first NEI AA Djokovic or Federer, so this is a

new environment for both players. -- he either played. Murray playing

someone decides Djokovic and Frederik, and we were just chatting

at the start about how important that will be in the first few

moments of the match. -- Federer. You are on the committee, explained

why the rivers close. They have been watching the weather pattern, it

looks more optimistic than it was a couple of hours, the roof is closed

as a precaution right now, and probably in the next... There it is,

just as we feel a few spots of rain! Maybe they will be reversing that

soon. But it is such a big day, the final, what is it like waking up the

morning of a Grand Slam title? The two that I went on to win, they were

different situations, at the US Open, I was the underdog, playing

Pete Sampras, and I did not feel the weight of expectation, I had a

nothing to lose attitude. At Wimbledon, I was the number one

seed, and I felt more nervous going into that, with the added pressure.

That was against Nalbandian. With Tim in the semifinal, it was a

massive semifinal match, and I did not want to let that slip after I

played so well in the semi, I wanted to go out with the same attitude in

the final. You know, it was a lot more nerve wracking, it felt like it

was mine to lose on that occasion, but obviously it is more the relief

of getting over the line in the end. That is what Murray is facing today,

suddenly he is the favourite. This is the first time he has probably

been a favourite in a Grand Slam final. In the past, he is either

played Djokovic or Federer, so we comes today with more expectation on

his shoulders, but he has won here before. In 2013, he played some of

his best tennis. The Olympics as well, such a big occasion, to win

gold in London. I think he will handle it really well. We will

continue our build-up over the next hour before the players wore

Concord, and this is what is coming up. -- walk on court.

We go back in time with and the Anders Breivik plan. We meet Jamie

Delgado and Ivan Lendl, who reveal what it is like to work with him. We

catch up with Milos Raonic, whose superhuman serve is as lethal

weapon. -- his. In 1987, Pat Cash won the title, today he looks at

both players Carroll games and the areas which will determine the

winner. -- players' games. And we look back at the giant sewer won the

biggest prizes of the sport, the men's singles title. We will hear

from Boris Becker and John McEnroe AfD 1:30, but let's put the final

into context with Andrew Cotter. What is it in sports that draws us

in? It is the unexpected, it is the unknown. There is always the chance

of an outcome to lift the spirits. An amazing story, this 25-year-old

from Slough, his first ever tournament level match... Moments of

light in a damp summer, a victory perhaps to earn a day to remember.

David versus Goliath! Hard graft can take you further down the road, even

if only to learn another lesson in how far there is still to go. But it

is always the up steps that leave their mark. Some will make us raise

an eyebrow, others leave us wide-eyed and open-mouthed in

disbelief, marvelling about the glorious uncertainty of sport. He

has done it, it is a shock! We also get the chance to relive our

memories through those old champions who sits nearby, now watching

powerless, playing out battles through younger men. And in sport,

we see souls laid bare, but are those who cared too much, or or

those who don't seem to care enough, and we pretend to take offence at

both, but never turn our eyes away. There is comfort to be found in the

issuer and the familiar, the home favourite sailing through, expecting

victory to follow victory as if it were the simplest thing. But it

would not feel right if all matters were so straightforward, if we were

not at some point taken to the very edge. We are going the distance on

Centre Court here! And back again. There is also the feeling in sports

that we don't want to let go of those who have thrilled us before.

As his powers faded, we lose something as well. The dream over

for Federer, Milos Raonic through to his first Grand Slam final... And so

the way clears for just those two who are left, one here for the first

time, the others so very used to the weight of expectation. What a

return! So in creeps the talk of destiny and things that will happen,

and things that are surely meant to be. But as we know, in sport, there

is always the unexpected, and the future is always unknown.

We have had some amazing matches, the fairy tale story of Marcos

Willis in the first week! It was wonderful, the rags to riches. It

was, coming through prequalifying, he won three rounds in qualifying,

had never won a match at this level, won his first match to play Federer

on Centre Court, and I said if he got eight games and a signed shirt

as a souvenir, it would be good. No shirt, he is a bit disappointed! I

was watching some of the young Australian boys playing, and he had

a big following in qualifying, just to get through his second and third

round matches. The epic finish to his year, finishing off biplane

Roger Federer on Centre Court, it doesn't get much better. What about

Nick Kyrgios? We saw him watching your doubles match just before

playing Andy Murray, are you going to help them a little bit? I am one

of the people that support him through Tennis Australia and the

group around him, with the Davis Cup team, but he walks to his own beat a

little bit. I had no idea he was going to be watching. He is very

good friends with Jack Sock as well. He was wearing my son's hat, half an

hour before going to play one of the biggest matches of his career. The

more opportunities he gets to play on the big stage, against the big

players, he mature and hopefully put himself in a position to play for

this great trophy one day. As you say, he does it his way. Somebody

who did that earlier was Gordon Reid, playing in the first ever

men's singles wheelchair final, and he was up against Stefan Olsson of

Sweden, one of his big rivals, and Gordon Reid, won the doubles

yesterday, came through in straight sets to win 6-4, 6-4. He won the

Australian Open earlier in the year, he was so excited to be here, huge

support for him out on court 17, well done to Gordon Reid.

Just to say that the competition we started yesterday to find the shot

of the tournament, which you can find on the BBC website and social

media accounts, that has now closed and we will bring you the winning

shot later in the programme. For Andy Murray, it is his third

Wimbledon final. He first played here back as a 19-year-old and he

very clearly told us when he was interviewed his plans for the

future. Are you all right, Martin? Just a

general chat here. How do you see it today? The match? How much is the

heat a factor? Err? Do you remember the early exchanges?

Are you as laid-back as you seen? Everyone who knows me knows I don't

normally speak too much and when I do I am normally arguing with

someone. I don't remember a lot of them, I

have done thousands and thousands. Is it just what the heck, grant a

bit, Kevin the annoyed teenager, remember that character? Is there a

bit of you in that? I wouldn't say I'm quite as bad as him. I think I

was hard on you. It is tough being in the spotlight, isn't it? I didn't

particularly enjoy it, to be honest. It wasn't something I prepared for,

maybe wasn't something I was ready for either. It is not easy being in

front of a room full of journalists asking you difficult questions. Do

you find as you travel that people are surprised that someone English

or Scottish can play tennis? Tim Henman is not bad. Any mistake you

make being picked up on is hard and I didn't enjoy it for a number of

years, I found it very hard. COMMENTATOR: The biggest mistake of

his career, and straight sets... The incredible thing is that even at

19 you were incredibly focused, you knew exactly what you wanted.

How much more is there to come, do you reckon? I want to win a Grand

Slam, that has been my goal since I started playing tennis. I know it is

a tough thing to do, but if I work hard I have a good chance of doing

it. You have worked hard and you are on

the verge of winning Wimbledon again. To win it again, what would

that mean? When I won it the first time, it was a huge relief. I maybe

didn't enjoy it as much as I should have done. It was just something

that there was a lot of pressure on me to do that for long time. I would

love to try and do it again on Sunday. It will be extremely tough

but I believe I can do it. All right, we will let you get off, we

wish you well, Cheers, goodbye. That was excellent, very good. Thanks.

You have been through that, Tim, and it's not easy. No, it is pretty

intense, as Andy said it is a learning process. I knew him before

he started here is a 19-year-old, and to see him over the last decade,

he is so experienced and mature. I have seen him a lot in this

Championships and the way he has been playing and the whole

tranquillity around his team has been impressive. It has been one

match at a time, playing consistently, and I think he has got

one more victory left in him. It is pressure you feel playing the

Australian Open, you were saying, having a home Grand Slam. It is

never easy, you are under the spotlight 24/ seven. Coming to

Queen's, being so close to winning the French Open, has just grass and

everyone expects him to him to go to Queen's Club and take that title

straightaway. This whole month has been under the spotlight but he

handles it so well. Winning the Olympic gold medal in 2012, going on

to win Wimbledon, he has handled it in his stride. And loving the

atmosphere on the big occasion is key as well. Yes, you reflect on the

performances. Look at the way his schedule worked out, he played on

Centre Court in the first week when it was difficult with the weather.

His schedule was not disrupted. In the big moments, against Nick

Kyrgios it was a potentially difficult match. He only made six

unforced errors. Against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, in the fifth set he was able

to read gain it, and today is another big challenge. We spoke

about the final at Queen's, he found a way and I think he will find a way

today. We will hear more from the finalists later in the programme,

but where will the final be won and lost? Pat Cash takes a look at some

of the key areas. This matchup is fantastic. I'm

really excited about this because it is a bit old school, an attacking

player against a fantastic defence player. But with a modern twist -

these guys have massive power. No more power than in Milos Raonic's

serve. He has very little chance to do anything about that. What I want

to have a look at, is the last time Murray and Raonic played in the

final of Queen's, and where Raonic served, we saw against Federer, they

are out here, there are the aces. If we have a closer look at what Raonic

has done through the Championships against Federer and also

successfully against Murray at the Australian Open, these are in the

middle, into the body serves. He is using that effectively which means

Murray has got to stand still. He cannot guess to lunge one way or the

other, especially if the ball is coming fast to him. How will Murray

deal with that? He is one of the great returners of all time,

especially on grass. Under normal circumstances, his ground stroke

takes a big swing, down and around in this area, but he cannot do that

when the guy is serving at 144 mph, regularly 140. He has to shorten

that swing, and he is a master of this. Look how short the swing is,

that is like half a swing. And he picks the ball up really nicely

there, as he does so often. Get the ball back. Murray typically has been

returning his first serve around about this area, which we saw.

During the Championships he is returning the second serve of most

players in and around this area. The problem today is Raonic doesn't

really have a second serve, he has two first serves. It is so fast, it

is like a first serve. I think Murray will have to hedge his bets a

little bit, and return the second serve around this area, which may

throw his rhythm out of it. He is very smart, Murray, we know he can

adjust his game and he will think his way through this but it may take

a while to get the rhythm. If he gets his rhythm and starts breaking

serves like he did at Queen's Club, he will win the Championships. If he

doesn't, Raonic will win the Championships.

Raonic, 137 aces so far. They are the two biggest strengths for each

player. It will come down to how well Andy Murray can make him play

another shot out there, he is a genius at that and if he can get

onto his first or second serves early in the match, that will build

pressure. He served well against Roger, didn't he? Yes, amazingly

well. You target the spots, but for me serve he has used fantastically

well is one into the body because sometimes you are moving to block

the ball back when you are reacting one or the other, but it is not easy

to keep the ball out of the middle of the court. It no doubt Andy's

return will be a big factor. He is able to use a short swing and block

the ball back. These are the body serves, and it is difficult to get

out of the way of them. You cannot have a swing, all you can do is

block it back at best which will normally give Raonic a short ball.

One thing I think he is doing a lot better in this tournament is where

to place himself when he comes forward for the volley. I was

surprised that some of the low volleys he got out of against Roger

Federer and didn't give him an opportunity to play a passing shot.

You have played some big servers, you only get a few chances and you

have got to take them. Yes, Andy knows there will be some big serves

against him, he has got to take opportunities when it comes to

second serves. Let's look at the quarterfinal against Tsonga because

this was a tough match, mentally. So many different elements to it, in

the first set they went to the tie-break and Andy was able to come

out on top. They raised through the second straight and he thought it

would be straight sets, but Tsonga, given his firepower, there was

definitely some Serbs from him, he started going for everything and had

nothing to lose when he was down two sets to love. It was looking

difficult for Murray. Just dealing with the emotions that go through

that, thinking you are almost in the locker room, then battling so hard.

Yes, he used the crowd so well and positive body language. As we saw

against Tomas Berdych, in the semifinal he just continued it.

Although Raonic had a set and a break at Queen's, Murray after that

started to read the serves better, didn't he? Yes, sometimes when you

play the big servers it takes a while to build up any rhythm. You

are looking for signs with the ball toss, but Murray loves the

statistics. He will look at the matches Raonic has played at

Wimbledon and Queen's to see where he is favouring on the big boys. He

has got to do a good job of the second serve. When he gets looks,

Raonic will go for big serves at 120 mph but he has got to look to take

advantage and get into the baseline rallies. When he can neutralise his

serve, that is when Murray will get on top. He can exploit the lack of

movement for Raonic at the back, that's where he will want to play

the points. But even the second serve as a weapon. It is big but

slightly slower. You will want to see a lot more of those. And it is

about anticipation, you cannot really read where it is coming, you

have to anticipate. Andy Murray does not guess, he gets a feel and maybe

he will lean to one side slightly more on the big points. That's what

happened in the Queen's final, he came up with an amazing backhand

return break point to turn the match around in his favour and that was

the big difference. He got confidence then. It is just such a

lovely match up, well today is a day when champions are made and some may

seize the moment, others may seize up. One man certainly didn't in

1966, Richard Krajicek, and he has been talking to us.

20 years ago you were about to walk out on Centre Court, at this stage,

nerves? Yes, feeling you can do something special and if you don't

do it today, you have got to do it another year. And the occasion got

to Washington, your opponent, what will it be like for Murray? It is

difficult because Raonic has won a couple of slams, so you know once

you miss your opportunity, and Andy will have the momentum, it is

like... Difficult. He has to take his chances straightaway. Who is

your money on and why? Andy Murray because of the occasion. For me they

are equals but Andy Murray, the pressure, I think he will cope with

it better. Richard Krajicek, thank you.

And so from the past to the present. Not surprisingly the crowd is out in

force in anticipation as well as hope, as very soon we will hear a

familiar cry. Come on, Andy! Come on, Andy! Come

on, Andy! Come on, Andy! Come on, Andy! Come on, Andy! A tour de force

from Andy. Soon it will be time for the talking

to stop. Gametime. Yes, there's a lot of eyes on you, thousands here,

millions around the world, but it is just you and him now. The battle is

on. The early exchanges, you are testing each other out, seeing what

the other guy brings. There is nowhere to hide. But whatever the

weather, one thing is for certain. At the end of it all, one man

retreats back to his corner, the other raises his arms in victory.

That's when you can start talking like a champion.

Anthony Joshua pulling no punches, and many of you will know that Andy

Murray is a big-time boxing fan, so here is a look at the tail of the

tape for today's heavyweight clash. Andy Murray, 29, Milos Raonic, 25.

Andy Murray is six foot three, Milos Raonic six foot five. Andy Murray's

fastest serve, 134 mph, Milos Raonic, 144 mph. Andy Murray micro

has 51 as mackerels, Milos Raonic 137. Andy Murray's career

prize-money, ?136 million. Today is an 11th appearance in a Grand Slam

final four Andy, it is Milos's first, and Andy will have thousands

of supporters behind him, many here on the hill. The loss Raonic just a

handful, but included amongst them is his number one fan, here she is

speaking to Garry Richardson. Your son is about to play in the

Wimbledon final, what are your emotions? I am amazed, I am so happy

and thrilled that he is there where he is. He makes proud everybody in

Montenegro, Canada, everybody, so as a mother, I just wish this for him,

and that is true now, that is happening. And your husband coached

Tim from six years old, what a great story, you cannot have imagined that

he was going to go on to be such a great player, a possible Wimbledon

champion. My husband did not coach him, he just put the ball is in the

ball machine, that is the only thing we did! He will claim he did a lot

more! He drove him, he did everything for him, but he would not

claim that. We always took professionals to work with our son,

even in that time, it was just a game for him, something to be busy

with. Lastly, what is it going to be like to sit and watch, and how much

will you be able to enjoy the match, really? I hope that I will enjoy and

be happy with the outcome. And I will try to enjoy. To be honest, it

is hard, because every point, you know, it is not finished until it is

finished. So I hope that my son plays the best and gets what he

wants to achieve. Have an enjoyable afternoon, thank you very much.

Thank you for having me. Lovely to hear from Vesna Raonic, now we can

hear from the man with classic film star good likes and superhero

powers. -- good looks. What a staggering clean hit from

Raonic that was! An explosion at into the ball, that is where the

power comes from! What a wonderful play by Milos Raonic right on the

line! Too strong from Milos Raonic! It is extraordinary from Milos

Raonic! Raonic to his first final! You have produced some super

performances all tournament, there to say your performance against

Federer was a superhuman? To some extent, yeah, I kept plugging away,

fighting, trying to find solutions. I got a little bit of an opening at

the end of the fourth set and I made the most of it. Milos Raonic is

through to his first Grand Slam final, what a moment for him... When

did tennis first come into your world? When I was eight and a half

years old, the thing closest to home was tennis courts, and I started

playing every single day and really fell in love and took it seriously.

Were your parents making sure that you are thinking of other things in

your life, not just tennis? It was always, make sure you are an honours

student, then you can play as much tennis as you want. When I decided,

when I was 17, to go pro, rather than go to university, I was

committed to school and education was important, but I decided I

wanted to give the processor could live a fair chance. Once you broke

into the top ten, did you know that you needed a change of coach, change

of focus to get you to the next level? Well, I was always aware, I

have always asked myself, what can I do better? I tried was myself that

after every single tournament. I looked to people who I believe could

help me achieve those goals, nobody is going to be as concerned about it

as I am, but the people I have surrounded myself with care a lot.

Give us an idea of what John McEnroe has done for you. He has helped me

enjoy it more on court, helped me release energy on court. It is

because of that that I was able to come back from 2-0 down. An

important win! In the semifinals, I had to come from 2-1 down. As he

helped you calm yourself down? He has taken it the other way, he said

you have to get the fire out of you, be positive and make sure you

release the energy, make sure you show your presence, your demeanour,

make sure the other guy knows you are there. Andy Murray in the final,

you have played at Queen's, I think you even predicted you might be

playing him in the final then. Well, I said hopefully! Hopefully I will

get to face him in revenge for myself. I feel like a few weeks ago

I let that go, but this is a different stage.

Well, it wouldn't be a super shark everyone micro today, Raonic, he

looked very dangerous. We have made our way from Henman Hill down to

Centre Court. A super John McEnroe will be here soon. He

is probably busy! Ease talking to a certain tall Canadian, I think! --

he is talking. How special is a day like today, the men's final? This is

the reason you start playing tennis, and I have been following Milos

since he was a little boy, and this is the moment when you want to show

the world who you are. A huge occasion, first Grand Slam final. It

is, and there has been many a player who has crumbled under that

pressure. I think Milos, I haven't seen anyone more determined to be

successful in his career, he has done everything to be as good as he

possibly can. We typically see the top guys putting in massive, huge

efforts, getting extra coaches, like Boris and Novak, whoever it happens

to be. But he is so determined, this is his chance, and I really believe

he has the tools, he has got the tools to win this match. Whether he

can actually do it on this stage today is another story, and nerves

can come into it. If he does get to that stage where he is serving for

the championship, and I cannot tell you what's... I worked with a sports

psychologist for a whole year to calm my nerves for occasions such as

that, and when I got out of the chair to serve for the championship,

I cannot say the expletive that came into my head, but my head was

saying, you are serving for the Wimbledon championship, don't mess

it up! A different word slightly, but it came straight into my head

after all the work I had done. I giggled to myself, so funny, after

all that work, that comes into my head. It relaxed me, but I was

terrified, serving for the championship, seeing people crumble.

You had no fear, 17. If looked a bit easier than it was, even at 17! I

was the innocent youth, not really aware of the consequences if you do

not. But I remember sitting on the chair as well, all the crazy

thoughts go through your mind, you just want to close your eyes. Kept

your calm, concentration, really focus on every single point. Serve

will be key for Milos today, we're going to look at the comparisons

between them. He takes more chances on the second

serve. Well, he has to. That is going to be the big factor today,

his serve, his powerful game against the defensive skills of Andy Murray.

Milos needs to serve big, he needs to be attacking, go for the second

serve ace sometimes. Having said that, he will serve a couple of

double faults. If you plays safe, he loses. With Murray's return, he has

got to go for it. He has, variety is key, if he keeps pounding it down at

the same pace... Come in! The man himself! And a cheer from the Centre

Court crowd. I think, what was the question?! How are you? How nervous

are you? I'm excited, this is my 24th Wimbledon that I have covered,

this is, I have got to say, the first time where I have actually

been involved with someone, trying to help someone get over the finish

line. Boris knows what it is like. I can see in your eyes! I didn't sleep

that well! Can I just say, firstly, I had a little thing with Andy, two

days after the French, that was tough, he was playing the best

tennis, he got to the French Serena, and I have always had a lot of

respect for Andy Murray, because I have never seen anyone under more

pressure. -- the French Open. Tim Henman had a lot, but Murray has

even more, and I commend him for the fact that he was able to overcome it

and win Wimbledon. Then he got to the stage where he was extremely

bummed out, obviously, that he was not able to overcome Novak Djokovic,

and I felt he might not even go to Queen's, because he had played a lot

of tennis, and that loss hit him hard. And then all of a sudden this

talk about Iran and coming back into the picture! Here we go, it is going

to work again. -- Ivan Lendl. Sure enough, I was at Queen's with Milos,

Ivan shows up, and it was as if he never left. Andy seems to elevate

that little bit, Milos and Andy, playing in the final of Queen's, he

was playing extremely well. I do not think it is a big secret that with

players like Murray or Djokovic, you try to take the racquet out of their

hands little bit. If you have got the game that Milos has, before

hand, you have to take it to him, you don't want to get involved in a

lot of long points and make Murray exhibit his athleticism. He did a

great job, 6-3 he was up, and Murray sensed that Milos got a little bit

tight. I remember Milos, on Father's Day, the finals of Queen's, saying

congratulations to Andy on becoming a father. And I hope to have a

rematch and see you again in a few weeks' time. Can I ask you a

question? I have got limited time! You must be very proud of the fact,

the big question is, we know Milos has got the game to beat Andy, can

he keep it up? You must be very proud of the fact that he did that

against Federer. I think he became a man in that match, hanging in long

enough to beat Federer. Can he do it today? You must be proud of the fact

that he did hang inconsistently the whole match. Well, I think obviously

that is the key, all three of us were pretty emotional on the tennis

court... Some more than others! Boast of the time we used it in a

positive way, and I think that Milos, he is extremely good, a fine

young man trying to bridge that gap between Murray and Djokovic, and in

order to do so, he has done everything possible to try to

elevate his game. The one thing that I felt was important for him, and as

a fan of kick tennis, but also for someone working with someone like

Milos Raonic, to somehow be able to embrace the moment, it is easy for

me to say enjoy being at there. But show that you enjoy it, fans respect

when you are being emotional about it. When Murray played Tsonga, part

of the way he managed to elevate that, he was firing the crowd up. I

think that Milos needs to do that, not bottle himself up and flat line

through every match. It is taking a certain point, but what you said is

true, because the reason he won that is that he had shown and was willing

to show everyone, hey, I am going to lay it all out here. If I fail, I am

going to go out fighting. He found a deer that I think he never had

before, never thought he had. -- aid -- a gear. John, you will be asking

him to be more aggressive, come forward on this surface.

When you are in a Wimbledon final, you won't win playing safe. These

guys know how to win. You cannot be waiting behind the baseline, hoping

Andy will miss a couple of returns. You have got to go out there looking

to win instead of the other guy losing. Also he has been coming into

the net, like 152 times. That was this year, when he got to the

semifinals a couple of years ago it was in the 30s. It is not easy to

change your personality or change the way you play. Sometimes you

expose yourself and if you don't think you are as quick or athletic

as the other guys, you try to hide that. Most of the time he's able to

get away with it because his serve is so big, he doesn't have to take

chances, but I think he has understood he will be a better

player in the long run. He's already a better player, and he needs to be.

In my opinion he won't beat Murray unless he is proactive, goes for it,

do Pete Sampras, take him out of his game. Beat Sampras didn't care what

the score was, all of a sudden it would be 0-30 and it would be a lot

tighter around that moment. We have heard from Milos Raonic's coach,

John McEnroe, now it is only fair we speak to the other camp comic Ivan

Lendl and Jamie Delgado. What has it been like working with

Andy Murray here at Wimbledon? -- Ivan Lendl? It has been good, we

work well together. When you have a big match and big final like this,

how does it work? Is it you putting across one message or an open forum?

Andy is the one who starts, he tells us what his ideas are and we try to

guide him if there is something he has missed or we think there is

something he needs to know. Is there anything in particular you are

trying to impress on him at the moment? A bunch of things, but I

will say next question, we won't tell you. Do you do anything

different in the run-up to a match like this or the same drills? It is

very much the same, whether it is Mahut the first round or Raonic in

the final, we try to prepare the best we can. Does Andy appreciate

that sense of stability and normality for a big final? Yes, I

have got to know him over many years and that normality is big, and

having Ivan's experiences big and something he's happy with. Since

Novak Djokovic went out, the landscape has changed. How important

is the role you have played keeping Andy in the present? It is

important. The Jordan change in the bottom half, he had to play the same

opponents in every round whether Novak Djokovic was there or not, it

is only now he plays a different opponents in the final. Is it not

hard though, Ivan and, when someone who is your chief rival in one year

is beaten and you don't play them in the final? Whoever is in the final

is playing good tennis am otherwise they wouldn't be there, so whether

it is them or someone who has been there for ages, you have got to take

care of business. He doesn't give a lot away, but we did ask him about

you. I think I have seen him once in the locker room for a few
