Andy Murray has become the first British man to reach a Wimbledon final in 74 years after beating France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-3 6-4 3-6 7-5 on centre court.

Murray is the first British man in a Wimbledon final since Henry "Bunny" Austin 74 years ago, after challenging the final point which was called out. He was found to be right, taking the fourth set to win the match.

A clearly emotional Murray hugged Tsonga after the match, before performing his "fingers-in-the-air" gesture and looking at the sky.

"There's a bit of relief, excitement. It's tough to explain, it was such a close match," Murray said after.

"Both of us had chances, I was up a break, he came back, then he had break points at 4-4 in the fourth and I managed to hang tough enough."

On his controversial winning point, he said: "I knew it was in, I thought he challenged, they said it was called out so I challenged.

Despite making history on Friday, Murray will now face six-time champion Roger Federer in the final on Sunday.

The Swiss star beat world number one Novak Djokovic 6-3 3-6 6-4 6-3 earlier in the day, meaning he has reached a record eight Wimbledon finals.
