Andy Murray has said that he is preparing for something different as he aims to win a second Wimbledon crown on Sunday.

The Scot reached the final with a straight-sets win over Tomas Berdych on Friday, setting up a meeting with Milos Raonic, a surprise semi-final victor against Roger Federer.

Raonic's progress means Murray's 11th grand slam final will be his first against an opponent who isn't Federer or Novak Djokovic and he said there was no way of knowing how the Canadian would handle the occasion.

"It's obviously an opportunity," Murray said. "I put myself in a position to try and win the event again. It's against someone new that I'm playing against in the final.

"But Milos is a very tough opponent. He's played very well on the grass this year and has earned his right to the final by beating one of the best, if not the best player, ever at this event. So he deserves to be there.

"Obviously it's the first time I'll play a slam final against someone that isn't Roger or Novak. So that's different.

"But you never know how anyone's going to deal with the pressures of a slam final. So I just have to go out there and concentrate on my side, do what I can to prepare well for it and see what happens."

Murray was a Wimbledon winner in 2013, memorably ending a 77-year wait for a British men's champion and he said that competing for one of the top prizes in the sport in front of a home crowd added something extra to the occasion.

"It would mean a lot, obviously," he said. "These tournaments are why I'm still playing and why I'm training hard and trying to win these events. That's what really motivates me.

"They're very hard competitions to win. I've been in the latter stages a number of times, won some, obviously lost some tough ones, as well.

"Wimbledon for a lot of the players, but for British players growing up, this is the biggest competition. To get to play in front of a home crowd in a grand slam final is very, very rare. There's not many players that get the opportunity to do that.

"This one always feels a little bit more special."
