Serena wins, can't help but think that her serve is the real winner though, Kerber played the rallies far better but when you're losing a couple of aces pretty much every return game it's always going to be uphill.

Great win for Serena Williams, but those, who said she would destroy Angie Kerber were way off the mark. Serena had to be at her very best to beat her.

Serena has the power of a man in women's tennis a big plus.

If Murray holds his first serve, he's got this.  Rain ice has a massive serve and big forehand, but that's about it really.

First break. Be nice if this was simple. I somehow doubt it will be.

First set Murray. Good stuff. His serve was never under threat.

Hope he doesn't regret missing these break points.

Would it be an exaggeration to say that there players outside the top few hundred who have a better backhand than Raonic?  His serve and forehand are pretty awesome though.

Surreal to watch a British player turning up to a Wimbledon Final as favourite and never looking under any pressure. Our greatest ever player. Hope he goes on to win a few more majors.
