Milos Raonic managed to hold off tennis great Roger Federer in a five-set thriller 6-3, 6-7, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 to become the first Canadian man ever to reach the Wimbledon finals on Friday.

Federer, bidding for a record eighth title, has never lost a Wimbledon semifinal until today.

The momentum swung towards Raonic when Federer double faulted at 40-15, 5-6 in the 4th set. It proved costly as Raonic won the 4th set 7-5 and later broke Federer in the final set to claim a memorable victory.
