Canadian fans stand behind Milos Raonic after loss in Wimbledon final
No Canadian has ever won a Grand Slam singles title
Milos Raonic's run at the 2016 edition of Wimbledon ended at the hands of Andy Murray on Sunday.
He's done it again...<br><br>The magnificent Andy Murray is <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Wimbledon?src=hash">#Wimbledon</a> champion for a 2nd time after beating Milos Raonic <a href="https://t.co/XS17gcR3fA">pic.twitter.com/XS17gcR3fA</a>
—@WimbledonRaonic made Canadian tennis history after defeating Roger Federer in their Wimbledon semifinal match, but the 25-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., couldn't keep the momentum going against Murray.
Despite the heart-breaking loss, Raonic has made a name for himself in a variety of different ways in this year's competition at the All-England Lawn Tennis Club.

—@WimbledonAside from Raonic's previous Grand Slam semifinal loss to Murray in this year's Australian Open, it was a pretty even playing ground between the two tennis stars.
Prior to today's final, Raonic's 37-8 record on the 2016 season wasn't far off from Murray's 39-6, making it a match that even the most important fans could not miss.
