Sunday's final of the grass-court event brought together two players who have each made high-profile coaching hires in recent weeks, Murray reuniting with Ivan Lendl after Raonic had added three-time Wimbledon singles champion John McEnroe to his team.

McEnroe has touted Raonic as a potential winner at SW19 and the Canadian certainly looked capable of such a feat as he seized control of the match.

Yet top seed Murray – a finalist at the French Open a fortnight ago – dug deep to turn things around and add to his previous successes at Queen's in 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015.

Raonic edged an opening set that contained no break points as both players served impressively. Having earned a first set point on the Murray serve in the tie-break, Raonic produced a powerful backhand that his opponent could only defend at the net, before ripping a forehand winner to the home hope's right.

If losing the first set represented a concern for Murray, he was in big trouble at the start of the second when the aggressive Raonic – with his forehand proving particularly effective – completed two emphatic love holds either side of breaking to 15.
