Murray achieved his dream of winning the Wimbledon title in 2013 after he broke his Grand Slam duck at the 2012 US Open – along with winning the Olympic gold medal at London 2012 – but he has had to wait four years to land a second championship at SW19.
The 29-year-old reached the Wimbledon final for the first time since his 2013 success, and after coming up short in the Australian and French Open finals against Novak Djokovic earlier this year, Murray already had the boost of facing Raonic instead of the world No 1, who exited the championship in the third round.
Having gone through the entire tournament dropping just two sets - which both came in his quarter-final victory of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga - the 2016 title is arguably Murray's most dominant triumph in his career to date.
Murray is now odds-on favourite to win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award for a second consecutive year, with the Scottish tennis player currently ahead of Wales footballer Gareth Bale and heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua.
