It has been 77 years since a British man won a singles title at Wimbledon, but Andy Murray has a chance to end the drought as he will face world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in Sunday's final after defeating Poland's Jerzy Janowicz in a four-set thriller, according to Wimbledon on Twitter.

Murray overcame the distractions, though, and reached his second straight Wimbledon final.

Murray lost to Roger Federer in the final last year, but he ultimately got revenge at All England Club by winning Olympic gold. Murray followed that up with his first Grand Slam title at last year's U.S. Open. Murray has cracked the proverbial seal and has a chance to reach the next level of his career.

Here is a complete recap of all the action between Murray and Janowicz on Centre Court, as the British favorite sent his fans home happy.
