Andy Murray has certainly had his major moments, none better than becoming the first British man to win Wimbledon in 77 years. But there is a dark side to his deep runs in the tournaments that matter most. No man in the nearly 50 years of open tennis has played so many Grand Slam singles finals while winning so few.

Since Andy Murray’s memory is as razor sharp as his service returns, he will not have forgotten the parting shot he received from Milos Raonic when they last played. “Next time I’m going to try to serve through him!” the Canadian sharp shooter warned. Three weeks after losing a three-set tussle to Murray at Queen’s Club, Raonic will get a chance to execute his plan as the two clash in Sunday’s Wimbledon final.

Andy Murray admits the no-nonsense style that coach Ivan Lendl employed to great effect during his playing career can help steer him to a third Grand Slam title. The world number two tackles Canada’s Milos Raonic, looking to add this year’s All England Club crown to his 2012 US Open and 2013 Wimbledon titles, both of which were won when Lendl was first working with the 29-year-old.
