Summary
Milos Raonic is into a Grand Slam final for the first time in his career. Andy Murray is there, too, and for the first time he will not have Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic standing in his way.
To review semifinals day and preview the final, we hear from the 1996 champion Richard Krajicek, who nearly worked with Raonic himself and shares many things in common. How has Raonic become a finalist? What are the keys to his success? And who will win when the Canadian faces Murray on Sunday?
Catherine Whitaker (Eurosport), David Law (BBC 5 Live) and Simon Briggs (The Telegraph) get together to share their thoughts on the men’s semifinals and final, and to preview the women’s final.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm John McInerd. I'm Bjorn Borg. This is Martina Navratlova. I'm Matt Vylander. I'm |
| 0:05.2 | Stan Ravinka. I'm Lainey Njut. I'm Andy Murray. And you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:19.9 | Well hello and welcome to the tennis podcast brought to you in association with the |
| 0:23.6 | Telegraph. We have just had the men's singles semi-finals won by Milosh Rownitch over Roger Federer |
| 0:30.4 | in five sets putting the Canadian into the find of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time |
| 0:35.2 | in his career. Andy Murray is through to the final. His eleventh Grand Slam final and for the first |
| 0:41.0 | time he will not be facing Novak Chokovich or Roger Federer. My name is David Law. I'm joined, |
| 0:46.6 | of course, by Simon Briggs from the Telegraph and Catherine Whitaker from Uresport and Live at |
| 0:51.8 | Wimbledon and just about everybody because they all want Catherine. I'm from BBC Radio 5 Live. I |
| 0:56.5 | was commentating on Andy Murray, of course. But first of all just before we chat to Catherine and |
| 1:01.0 | Simon, let's hear from Richard Crycheck, the 1996 Wimbledon Champion who is a bit of a Kindred |
| 1:07.7 | spirit with Milosh Rownitch, similar height, similar strengths, similar weaknesses and I put it |
| 1:14.4 | to Richard Crycheck that he, Milosh Rownitch, was a man that Crycheck thought one day would win |
| 1:20.2 | the Wimbledon title? Yeah, I thought it already two years ago when he beat Nishikori on court number |
| 1:25.2 | three and then he was here in the semi-finals and disappointed me actually because he wasn't coming in |
| 1:31.2 | but now we're two years down the line and he's finally playing Royal Grass Court tennis and he |
| 1:35.5 | has a real shot. It's going to be tough. It's his first Wimbledon final, first Grand Slam final |
| 1:39.9 | and he's playing Andy Murray, the home favorite who won already a couple of Grand Slam titles one |
| 1:44.1 | here three years ago. But if he's not going to do this year, he's going to do it next year or in two |
| 1:49.7 | years but for me for the next three four or five years every year is going to be a favor to |
| 1:54.4 | win this, one of the title containers. It's 20 years since you won it here and I remember the |
