Canada’s Raonic Falls To Murray In Straight Sets At Wimbledon Final
LONDON: Milos Raonic battled all match trying to get to a level that was “good enough” to make him Canada’s first Grand Slam singles champion. In the end, he couldn’t quite get there.
The Thornhill, Ont., product lost in straight sets to Andy Murray in the Wimbledon final Sunday in the first major singles championship match to feature a Canadian man.
“That’s pretty much the thing you’re fighting the most, is to try to find a level that’s good enough,” Raonic said. “I was keeping up with him but when it counted I wasn’t able to get on top.”
Murray, the local favourite, topped the 25-year-old Raonic 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2) to capture his second Wimbledon title and third major championship.
