ANDY MURRAY has arrived at Wimbledon as he chases a famous second title at the All England Club.

In 2013, Murray famously became the first British man to win Wimbledon since Fred Perry all the way back in 1936, beating Novak Djokovic – going where stars such as Tim Henman, Greg Rusedski and John Lloyd had failed.

Muzza also reached the final in 2012 – losing to Roger Federer in four sets.

And now he goes for his second SW19 title when he takes on big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic at 2pm on Sunday, promising to be ‘ruthless’.

To get here, Murray first overcame fellow Brit Liam Broady, coming through that test 6-2 6-3 6-4.

He went on to trounce Taiwan’s Yen-Hsun Lu 6-3 6-2 6-1 before dismantling Australia’s John Millman 6-3 7-5 6-2 in the third round.

Muzza beat another Aussie in the fourth round – Nick Kyrgios – 7-5 6-1 6-4, after his opponents now famous meltdown in the second set.

The Brit No1 was forced into a thriller in the quarter-final, scraping past Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in five sets – after dropping sets three and four – before powering home in the decider.

He came through that test 7-6 6-1 3-6 4-6 6-1, before he tore apart Berdych in the last-four.

His opponent Raonic, meanwhile, beat Pablo Carreno Busta, Andreas Seppi and Jack Sock in straight sets to kick off his campaign, before a five-set thriller against Belgian No11 seed David Goffin.

A four-set win over Djokovic’s conqueror Sam Querrey was then followed by that five-set stunner over Federer in the last four.
