Roger Federer however came back to win the next three games and seemed in control as Murray was clearly feeling the pressure of playing in his first Wimbledon final.
The Swiss struck some vicious volleys which gave Murray no breathing space as Fedex took the second set 7-5 to level the match setting up a great final.
Murray was feeling the heat but would not back down as he had more aces at this point then Federer and was giving the six time champion a run for his money.
As Federer applied more pressure Murray seemed to have a dip in confidence allowing the Swiss to capitalise and take the third set 6-3 to lead two sets to one and have a clear advantage in the final.
In the fourth set Roger brought on all his experience into play and the difference was visible between the two players as Murray seemed to break under Federer's calmness.
In the end nothing could stop Federer from winning his seventh Wimbledon title as he took the fourth set to win the match 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4. Murray was simply no match in the end for a more experienced opponent and seasoned campaigner.
