Murray beats Raonic to win Queen's title

World number two Andy Murray has come from behind to beat Milos Raonic in the 2016 Queen's final and claim a record fifth title.

The Scot, who beat Marin Cilic in the semi-finals on Saturday, lost the first set to Raonic in the English capital, but claimed the second and third sets to run out a 6-7 6-4 6-3 winner.

Canadian Raonic, who made the semi-finals of Wimbledon in 2014 and now works with John McEnroe, impressed in the first set as he matched Murray game for game, before claiming the tie-break 7-5 after breaking his opponent on two occasions.

Raonic then took a 2-0 lead early in the second set after breaking Murray's opening serve, but the world number two responded with two breaks of his own and ultimately levelled the score at 1-1 with a 6-4 success.

Murray's class told in the third and final set as the Scot secured two breaks - one at the start and one at the end - to win out 6-3 and make history in the Aegon Championships at Queen's.
