Todays match between Milos Raonic and Andy Murray is likely to be a tough match as both players have shown tremendous character to reach the finals at the 2016 edition of Men's Singles finals, the most coveted Tennis trophy in the career of any Tennis player in the world.

Given that Milos Raonic is playing is first grand slam final could make him to give his best, I think it will be close match.

Andy Murray on the other hand has grown in experience over the years and is in tremendous form and if at all he wins the title, then it will show, how he has matured over the years.

Speaking about Murray's game at this stage of career, it has grown tremendously over the years, he is serving big, making it count when it matters, and winning the break points consistently.

Raonic need to be wary as Murray won't let him breathe easy and has an impeccable style of play, he is never out of the game till the last point.

Murray has improved his accuracy in his shots, they are more penetrating the court and has wide reach of the court. So, something special is needed
