    Justice done in that set. Murray is making him look like a classless slugger.

    Bit harsh. He has some game. But his style is fairly dull, yes

    Raonic looks like he's fading

    What is in Murray's bag that he keeps looking at?

    This is what I love about watching tennis - at the end of a set you can go to the toilet, water the garden, go to the hardware centre, replace your window wipers, make a cup of tea and come back and you've only missed the first couple of games of the next set.

    101 reasons why he hates England.

    Well played Muzza. Completely outplayed him.

    Wonderful. Raonic will win a slam soon I think.

    3 slams and an Olympic gold for Andy now.

    Just a great sportsman. No BS, no gurning for the crowds, no compromise.

    Raonic had a very good tournament, harsh to say he's just a big serving slugger. You don't beat Federer in 5 just on a serve.

    Murray imo, has played his best tennis since he had back surgery. The last year to 18 months and especially grass court this season, he's been a joy to watch.

    The return of Lendl I believe will help him be more ruthless in latter stages/finals.

    Superb performance by Andy today, and it was Andy who won that as Milos played well and didn't choke at all

    I like Raonic, good to see someone who wants to come forward and serves and volleys at times as well

    Really happy to see Murray win. I'm a big fan, he just works so hard and is such an intelligent player but I think he beats himself up too much.

    Definitely one of the greats of the game

    But watching him try to smile for the cameras beside Raonic was like Wednesday Addams attempting her first ever smile

    Pleased for Murray - emotionally drained at the end. he's been quite unfortunate to have so many top players in his generation. But I should imagine the defeats in previous grand slams make the wins all the more sweater.

    So happy for Murray. Said it before but he has worked so hard throughout his career to develop and improve his game. He's at a level that relatively few British sportsmen have reached, regardless of the sport. I don't think anyone could begrudge him even more than 3 Grand Slams titles, but he has three of the best ever in his way, at various points. Hopefully he can take this into the US and finally get the better of Novak over 5 sets again. Would be great if he could win the Ozzy Open before he retires. Even more impressive if he mangers to conquer clay at Roland Garos.

    Don't go along with have to support him as British but I was cheering him on today. Would have wanted Federer if he was in final but yes Murray is probably our best sportsman at moment.

    So pleased for Murray. With Lendl back in his corner I wouldn't bet against him at the US
