Ivan Lendl believes Andy Murray has grown as a player and a person since his last Wimbledon triumph in 2013.

The Scot faces Milos Raonic in Sunday's final as he aims to win his second title at the championships.

The Czech legend, who returned as Murray's coach last month, thinks there have been some positive changes in the Dunblane ace's game and character recently.

"Every player is improving all the time because if you're not improving you get left behind so I see improvement in his all-around game.

"As people get older they mature as well, even though some people would argue that I haven't, but Andy has."

This will be the first time Murray faces someone other than Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer in a slam final, but Raonic showed in his semi-final victory over Federer the threat he possesses.

The expectation levels on Murray will be higher than ever before but Lendl does not expect that to make a difference.

He said: "You just prepare the best you can and you can't control who is on the other side so you prepare to play the best tennis hopefully and you hope it's good enough."

Lendl stopped working with Murray in 2014 because he no longer wanted to do the travelling but was tempted back after the Scot split from Amelie Mauresmo in May.

It was potentially a risky move for both given their previous success so a slam title in their first tournament would be the ultimate validation.

"It's not about what it would mean to me, it's what it would mean to Andy to win here again," said Lendl. "It would be nice to win the last point."
