Raonic and Federer met in the semifinals here two years ago with Federer blowing the Canadian away in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. The 25-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., beat Roger Federer 6-3, 6-7 (3), 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 on Centre Court Friday to advance to the Wimbledon final. WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND — Milos Raonic has taken a giant step toward becoming the first Canadian to win a major Grand Slam tennis championship. But Raonic did win their previous meeting 6–4, 6-4 in the final of the Brisbane International in January. Federer would have become the oldest man to reach the Wimbledon final since Ken Rosewall was a runner-up in 1974 at age 39.
