Wimbledon 2016 Results: Friday Winners, Scores, Stats and Singles Draw Update

Andy Murray will face Milos Raonic in the Wimbledon 2016 final after they overcame respective semi-final opponents Tomas Berdych and Roger Federer on Friday.

Raonic beat Federer, 6-3, 6-7(3), 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, in a five-set thriller, where the Canadian surrendered an early lead before wresting his way back from a set down to finish strongly and book his maiden Grand Slam final.

Murray then sauntered to a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Berdych, surrendering just a single break over three sets, and he'll have the honour of facing major-final debutant Raonic for this year's crown on Sunday.

Serena Williams will defend her Wimbledon title against Angelique Kerber on Saturday in a repeat of this year's Australia Open final, where it was the German who upset the odds to claim her first major.

Murray Earns Chance at Second SW19 Crown

It's been three years since Murray last made his way to the Wimbledon final, where he won his only SW19 title in 2013, but the Scot now has a gaping opportunity to add a second to his collection this Sunday.

With Djokovic long gone from the competition and grass phenomenon Federer now also out of the running, Murray can look upon Raonic as a potentially easier route to his second Wimbledon triumph:

ESPN Stats & Info provided further context on Sunday's crescendo, backing up Murray as the favourite for the challenge coming his way:

The British heavyweight surrendered a break at just the second asking on Friday, but that first-set stumble proved to be Murray's only slip of the match, successfully defending 12 serves after that.

To Murray's credit, he also boasted superior serving numbers than baseline specialist Berdych, winning 77 percent of points on first serve compared to just 70 percent of those against his foe, per the official Wimbledon website.

McEnroe's Instant Raonic Impact

It's barely been two months since former world No. 1 John McEnroe announced he would be joining Raonic's team in a coaching capacity, but the benefits of his tutelage are already apparent.

Clearly not content with just one major final under his belt, the Canadian elaborated upon McEnroe's influence on his improvement and hinted at bigger things to come, per Wimbledon's official Twitter account:

McEnroe also spoke to ESPN about the new levels Raonic is apparently now discovering himself, per tennis writer Arash Madani:

In June, Raonic booked his first-ever grass-court final at the 2016 Queen's Club Championships before losing to Murray, and he's now followed that display up by bagging his second in as many months.

Despite notching almost three times as many unforced errors as Federer (40 to 14), per the official Wimbledon website, Raonic's serve was largely responsible for leading him to new heights at SW19.
