This one hurt.

Andy Murray was the first Briton to contest the Wimbledon men's singles final since Bunny Austin in 1938 when he reached the 2012 final. But that was never going to be enough.

A fourth defeat in as many Grand Slam finals - going down 4-6 7-5 6-3 6-4 - prompted some to question whether Murray would ever take the final step to claiming one of the game's biggest titles.

"It's hard, it's tough to take, but you need to show strength of character to come back from it," said Murray, 25, in the emotional aftermath.

The title won in a toilet cubicle.

Andy Murray had won the first two sets of the 2012 US Open final against Novak Djokovic, but then squandered that lead to set up a fifth and deciding set.

Then came the fateful bathroom break.

"I stood in front of the mirror with sweat dripping down my face and I knew I had to change what was going on inside," he said.

"So I started talking. Out loud. 'You are not losing this match,' I said to myself. 'You are not losing this match.'"

He didn't.

A  7-6 (12-10) 7-5 2-6 3-6 6-2 win made him Britain's first male Grand Slam singles champion in 76 years.

More from Gordon Reid: "A big well done to Stefan as well. He's played some really great tennis, he made it really difficult for me today. I'm sure he more than any other has been waiting for the game to come to grass because he's got the game for it. Hopefully we can have more battles in the future."

This is the moment Gordon Reid won the men's singles wheelchair title to go alongside the doubles title he won with Alfie Hewett on Saturday. Not a bad way to kick off finals day. 

More from Gordon Reid, after winning the first ever men's wheelchair singles title: "I said at the start of the week I wanted to achieve two things. First if there were any kids with disabilities for this to inspire them to take up the sport. And second was to continue to break down the barriers when it comes to disability sport, to showcase the talent in the sport. The coverage and interest we've had this week, it's been a big milestone and hopefully we can build on that."

What a story. And what a Sunday! With this win we now have a fabulous foundation for more youngsters to come through. I feel for Olsson though. I've been there, it's the worst place to be sat there waiting while everyone is celebrating.

A quite overwhelmed Gordon Reid speaking to BBC Two:  "It's incredible. To have the opportunity to play singles here is something I've dreamed of for a long time. And to come here and win it in front of all the people I I love, my friends, my family, my coaches, with so much support. I'll never forget this moment."

Both players have struggled to hold serve in this second set but it looks like Gordon Reid has broken at a crucial time. Reid went on to hold serve in the following game leaving him only one game away. 

Ay up, Britain's Gordon Reid is serving for the men's wheelchair singles title over on Court 17.

The real unknown is how Ranoic reacts to being in a Grand Slam final on Centre Court. I think he will give Murray a good match - and it might go the whole way.

It's a good thing for Murray to have the support. He does enjoy that support.

As a person Murray’s grown and matured. I remember waiting to speak him when he was 15 and he had to finish his Playstation game before he spoke to me!

Now he's a father himself. He's a lot more controlled now on the court as well. He's been extremely focused.

It's very exciting when you walk out at Centre Court. Obviously for the final it's going to be a full house and intense atmosphere.

This is the most special court in the world and Andy will have incredible support.

It’s going to be a new experience for Raonic. And it will be different experience for Andy to be playing someone different from Djokovic and Federer.

Emilio Sanchez - Andy Murray's teenage mentor at the Sanchez-Casal Academy in Spain - believes that his former charge has a crucial psychological edge.

"He's in a very good position. For Raonic, it's his first time in the final. It's a new thing for him, and he has nothing to lose," he told BBC Sport's Bibhash Dash.

"Andy has been there lot of times, that's an advantage. He has everything. It will be a clash of power and different styles, which will make it a very good match.

"Physically Raonic has improved a lot. But Murray is in the perfect state of his career and has an advantage. 

"Murray is very sure of himself, it's about maintaining this composure, and maturity in the game. A five-setter is a lottery. It's more difficult predicting the score than winning the lottery."

It can make a big difference (playing three sets) especially if final is a long and grinding match. 

At the French Open he had five hours more than Novak. It was a pretty straightforward tournament until Wednesday when he had the five-setter.

Physically he should be fine, mentally he should be sky high facing an unusual opponent. I think he expected Roger to win, so the preparation will be a little bit different.

He’s a multiple Grand Slam winner, he’s spent a long time at number two. He’s a very complete player and with age he seems to be getting better.

He’s not going to be happy with the final. Andy Murray will be thinking of Milos Raonic.

At the age of just 21, Andy Murray faced Roger Federer in the 2008 US Open final.

He was the first Briton to reach a Grand Slam final since Gred Rusedski in 1997 and attempting to become the first since Fred Perry in 1936 to actually win one since Fred Perry at the same tournament in 1936.

However he ran into a supreme Roger Federer.

The Swiss stormed to his fifth straight Flushing Meadows title and his 13th Grand Slam title overall with a  6-2 7-5 6-2 win.

"I hope that this will be the start of big things for me but I'm going to need to put a lot of work in," said Murray.

The Queue for entry to Wimbledon today snakes round a long stretch of the main road into the courts and back out onto Wimbledon Park. 

There's been people sitting/standing/lying here patiently here all night.

At around 09:40 BST, the people just joining the queue are told they may not get in at all. 

They go to the back and wait anyway, just in case. Dedication.
