DHAKA: Britain’s Andy Murray became Wimbledon champion for the second time with a superb performance against Canadian sixth seed Milos Raonic in the final.

The Scot, 29, dismantled the Raonic serve in a 6-4 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-2) victory to repeat his triumph of 2013 and claim a third Grand Slam title, reports the BBC.

Murray is the first British man to win multiple Wimbledon singles titles since Fred Perry in 1935.

“I’m proud to have my hands on the trophy again,” said Murray.

Murray gave a famously tearful speech after losing his first Wimbledon final against Roger Federer in 2012.

Twelve months later, he finally ended Britain’s 77-year wait for a male champion - and the chance to see him repeat the feat attracted huge attention.

Spectators queued overnight just to grab a spot on Henman Hill, while the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and former champions Bjorn Borg, Stefan Edberg and Boris Becker were among those watching from the Royal Box.

“This is the most important tournament for me every year,” added an emotional Murray.

"I've had some great moments here, but also some tough losses. The win feels extra special because of the tough losses."

Murray was playing his 11th Grand Slam final and for the first time he was the favourite, having faced either Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer in the previous 10 finals.
