Andy Murray is gearing up for his third Wimbledon final after a thumping victory over Tomas Berdych.

The British No 1 is the red-hot favourite to lift the trophy for a second time on Sunday when he takes on Milos Raonic after the Canadian shocked Roger Federer.

Murray showed no nerves to record a 6-3,6-3, 6-3 triumph over Berdych on Centre Court in less than two hours to conserve his energy for the big one this weekend.

“I’m very happy,” he said. “It was a good match today. The middle part of the second set was really key.

“To make a Wimbledon final is a good achievement and I’ve got one more match to go on Sunday.

“The older you get, you never know how many more chances you will get so you’ve got to make the most of your opportunities.

“Having had my experiences in the past will help me a lot. I know what I have to do to get to the latter stages of these events.

“He’s playing the best grass court tennis of his career. He played a tough match today and I’ll have to play a great game on Sunday.

“I’ll stick to the same routine I’ve had. The same practice times and everything. I’ll not change anything.”

Federer’s epic five-set thriller ultimately ended in defeat for the Swiss and ended his dream of winning his favourite Grand Slam for another year.

“Something went wrong,” a puzzled Federer said. “I don't know.

“I can't believe I served a double‑fault twice. Unexplainable for me really, yeah.

“Very sad about that and angry at myself because never should I allow him to get out of that set that easily.

“I mean, he deserved it. He earned it at the end. But I helped him so much to get back into that game.

“I would like to see a breaker because I was the better player for the set.

“Then, you know, I know he's great in breakers and all that, it was always going to be tough. But I would have liked to see him scramble more than that.”

Federer’s conqueror, the big-serving Raonic, is relishing the chance for a shot at revenge against Murray following his loss to the Brit in the Queen’s Club final last month.

“He does a lot of things well,” Raonic said of Murray.

“I think the biggest challenge for me, which I felt was the thing I want to happen the least, or repeat itself the least from Queen's, is I got sucked into his game.

“I didn't play on my terms. That's going to be the most important thing for me.”

Meanwhile, it was heartbreak for Ickenham’s Jordanne Whiley in the wheelchair singles as she was beaten in straight sets in the semi-finals of the inaugural event.

Aniek van Koot won 7-5 6-3 to book her spot in the final but Whiley and partner Yui Kamiji still have a chance of retaining their doubles title at SW19 this weekend.
