What are the two camps saying?
Murray: "It would mean a lot, obviously. These tournaments are why I'm still playing and why I'm training hard and trying to win these events. That's what really motivates me.
"They're very hard competitions to win. I've been in the latter stages a number of times, won some, obviously lost some tough ones, as well.
"Wimbledon for a lot of the players, but for British players growing up, this is the biggest competition. To get to play in front of a home crowd in a grand slam final is very, very rare. There's not many players that get the opportunity to do that.
"This one always feels a little bit more special."
John McEnroe, Raonic's coach: "It's no secret that Murray from the beginning of the event has been playing better than anyone.
"When Djokovic lost, a lot of guys' eyes lit up. Raonic, the opportunity for him, and Murray, who doesn't have to play Djokovic in the final.
"He's playing Raonic - ask him if he'd have taken that before the tournament, I have a feeling he'd say yes."
