Andy Murray relieved after semi-final triumph

Andy Murray describes his relief after he reaches the Wimbledon final with victory over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

Andy Murray has described his relief after he reached the Wimbledon final with victory over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

Murray's four-set triumph over the French world number six has seen him become the first British player to feature in the men's singles final at SW19 for 74 years.

He will now face six-time champion Roger Federer in Sunday's final.

When asked how he was feeling after the match, the 25-year-old told BBC Sport: "Bit of relief, excitement, it's tough to explain. It was such a close match. In the last two sets both of us had chances.

"I've just got to keep it together for the final. It will be one of the biggest matches of my life. I've had experience against Roger in the final of Slams before. I'll use that to my advantage, learn from my mistakes. It's obviously going to be a very tough match. He's playing great."

Murray has won eight of his previous 15 meetings with Federer but has lost the last two encounters with the Swiss.
