Former British number one Tim Henman has paid tribute to Andy Murray's authoritative performance in beating Milos Raonic to win the Wimbledon title.

Murray became the first Briton since Fred Perry to win multiple All-England Club championships after winning in straight sets against the big-serving Raonic.

Henman has suggested that the world number two's consistency made life difficult for the sixth seed to get into the match.

He told BBC Sport: "Murray delivered in every aspect, it really was an amazing finish to a fantastic fortnight for him.

"He stamped his authority, got up 5-0 in both tie-breaks. His first-serve percentage, he only made nine unforced errors.

"Murray used all his skills to keep making Raonic play and make life difficult and it paid off."

Murray won his first Wimbledon title in 2013 with a straight-sets victory over Novak Djokovic.
