Roger Federer beats Marin Cilic to win record 8th Wimbledon, 19th Grand Slam

London: Roger Federer needed just one hour and 37 minutes to beat Marin Cilic 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 to lift his eighth Wimbledon title and 19th Grand Slam crown.

Roger Federer won a record eighth Wimbledon title and became the tournament’s oldest champion on Sunday with a straight-sets victory over injury-hit Marin Cilic who dramatically broke down in tears midway through the final.
