    Half the battle is mental. Raonic has to believe in himself and that he can win Wimbledon.

    He is not only going to be playing against Andy Murray, but also against this crowd as well.

    When asked about his next opponent, Milos Raonic, Andy Murray said: "It was a tough match at Queen's, I was down a set and a break, he's playing the best grass-court tennis of his career. 

    "I'm aware I'll have to play very well if I want to win. I'll stick to the same routine I've had during this tournament, same practice times and whatnot but I won't change too much. Rest day tomorrow and hopefully come out firing on Sunday."

    Murray's lost far too many for his own liking. It's his 11th Grand Slam final, he's lost eight of those. He's always played Djokovic or Federer so we're in uncharted territory with Murray being the favourite. 

    It doesn't matter how much advice John McEnroe will give Raonic, he will not know how it feels once he gets out on that court and that's one advantage for Murray.

    John Pierce: Murray bears the look of a man who wont rest until its won. No hype, just focus  

    Mr H: This is Mr @andy_murray, external 's year again. Dare I predict a Wimbledon/US Open double win...? Ivandy is THE partnership  

    Tony Bickley:  Very impressive from Murray tonight to win in straight sets. Berdych never got into it and made far too many unforced errors.

    Murray 6-3 6-3 6-3 Berdych

    Andy Murray to BBC Sport: "I'm obviously very happy. It was a good match today. The middle part of the second set was really key. Obviously to make a Wimbledon final is a good achievement and I've got one more to go on Sunday. 

    "The older you get you never know how many chances you're going to get to play in Grand Slam finals. I'm glad I managed to get through today. The older you get you're more experienced and it helps you deal with the nerves better. You learn from those matches for sure, those experiences in the past have helped me a lot, playing against some of the best players of all time."

    Murray to play Raonic in final

    All done and dusted in under two hours from Murray and now he will face Milos Raonic in the final on Sunday.

    Murray has a 6-3 lead in his head-to-head with the sixth seed, and the Canadian has never been in a major final before. 

    The boy does have a lethal serve on him, mind.

    Fingers crossed for a classic.

    A very impressive performance. He knew what he had to do and he had his game face on right from the start and was able to break early on. He and his whole team will be thoroughly pleased.

    Andy Murray makes the Wimbledon final for a third time!

    The semi-final finishes with Berdych hitting into the net.

    Murray starts by scooping a low forehand into the net, but recovers with an ace. 

    A straight backhand down-court takes him to 30-15. 

    His forehand strike then goes just wide, but he brings up match point as Berdych hammers into the net.

    Here we go...

    Tomas Berdych isn't going to hand this one to Andy Murray on a plate. He's going to make the world number two serve it out.

    The Czech holds as he sends a twisting forehand into the corner.

    Mentally he's so strong. He doesn't let up. I love the way you don't get a feeling that Berdych has a chance of coming into the match. I love his focus and not getting upset. A totally different Andy Murray than the one of two days ago.

    Two sets and a break up and Andy Murray has played really well.

    I've been really impressed with his serving and he has tried to keep Berdych on the back foot all day. It is a very professional performance from Andy Murray.

    Murray's showing everything he's got in his locker - a little delicate drop shot, a thunderous forehand into the corner.

    The British number one holds and is one game away from the final.
