LONDON -- In the end, Andy Murrays victory over Milos Raonic in the Wimbledon mens final was a one-sided affair as the British No. 1 lifted his second title at SW19 in straight sets.However, after many had predicted a closer encounter on Centre Court, we round up the thoughts of those in the know to find out how Murray nullified the Raonic threat.Richard Krajicek1996 Wimbledon champion and now Stan Wawrinkas coaching consultant:The thing that impressed me most about Andys performance was his focus. He didnt lose his concentration. He was so committed. It was that focus and determination that allowed him to return so well.Maybe some will say that Raonic didnt serve that well. I dont think he served that badly, it was just that the ball keep coming back the whole time. So Raonic started to go for more and he started to make some mistakes.I was so impressed with Andys attitude -- he showed such desire and will to win. The emotions were very different from three years ago. In 2013, Andy was going for his first Wimbledon title and he was also playing against Novak Djokovic and you really thought he could lose that one. Until the end, you werent sure that he would close it out, and there was always a chance that something could go wrong.Today it was different. The whole time you had the feeling that he was going to do it. He had done before and Raonic didnt have the previous experience.Boris Becker1985, 1986, and 1989 Wimbledon champion, and Novak Djokovics coach:Andy was solid. You could see during the match that he had more experience. Milos was knocking on the door but not loud enough. Andys 29, at the peak of his career, so Im sure hes going to be up for aa few more Grand Slams. Wholesale Spain National Mens Jerseys. Grass is his most natural surface, and hes always going to be a big threat at Wimbledon. Hard court is a great surface for him, too. Hell be winning a couple more.Stefan Edberg1988 and 1990 Wimbledon champion, and Roger Federers former coach:Andy Murray was in control from the very beginning. In finals, the first set is always crucial. Once he was ahead he never looked back. Milos never really had a chance until into the third set. At 29, Im sure Murray is going to win more slams, there is no question. There are a lot of good guys around but hes going to have a few good years ahead of him.Lleyton Hewitt2002 Wimbledon champion:Andy was like a brick wall. He played a fabulous match. In tiebreakers, against a big server, those could be nervy times, but Andy dominated. He couldnt have played any better.The former British No. 1s viewTim Henman, four-time Wimbledon semifinalist:I dont think he could have played any better. He delivered with every aspect of his game.And some words from the familyShirley Erskine, Murrays grandmother:It was fantastic. I wasnt here three years ago when Andy won and I didnt want to miss this final as well. It wasnt as emotional as three years ago, but Im thrilled.Judy Murray, his mother and first coach:He was so solid off the ground, he was really strong on serve and I just felt confident that he was going to get the job done. Its great. I could tell he was very emotional at the end and the way he was holding the trophy, it was like, youre not taking that away from me.
