Whether he wins Wimbledon or not, Milos Raonic has already made history.

The rising star is the first Canadian men’s player to reach a Grand Slam final.

On Sunday he’ll face Andy Murray, the fan favorite from the United Kingdom.

Murray is part of the Big Four, which also includes Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Those players are household names to tennis fans. Raonic, though, is somewhat of an unknown to the casual spectator.
