WIMBLEDON, England -- Andy Murray became the first British man to reach the Wimbledon men's final since 1938 on Friday, thrilling a nervously anticipatory crowd on Centre Court with his 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 win over fifth-seeded Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
The 25-year-old Murray, who is seeded fourth, won the final point with a sizzling forehand service return that skidded off the line, just good enough it turned out. It had been called wide and video replay was needed to determine that, indeed, the shot was good. There was almost silence for a split second until the winner was confirmed for everyone to see.
