Andy Murray has become the first Briton in 74 years to reach the Wimbledon men's singles final after a four-set victory over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Centre Court.

Murray got off to a fantastic start against his French opponent and broke serve early. The fourth seed then produced some devastating shots from the baseline to take the first set 6-3.

The Scot continued his fine form into the second as an out-of-sorts Tsonga had little response to a number of crisp winners from the Scot, who won 6-4.

However, a hush fell over the partisan crowd early in the third when the fifth seed broke to race into a 3-0 lead. He was then able to see out the set 6-3 and pile the pressure on Murray.

The Brit seemed unflustered as he took what looked to be a decisive service break in the fourth, but Tsonga dug deep to break back.

Murray then had two break points at 4-4 only for the Frenchman to serve impeccably and hold.

It was Tsonga who then squandered two break points as Murray held to take a 5-4 lead.

A tense 10th game was eventually won by Tsonga before Murray held to go 6-5 in front. The match was ended in nervous circumstances as a challenge from Murray saw his shot fall on the line to earn the break and the final set 7-5.

He will now play six-time champion Roger Federer in Sunday's final after the Swiss defeated defending champion Novak Djokovic in four sets.
