LONDON (AP) — Roger Federer’s wait for No. 8 at Wimbledon is over.
Federer won his eighth title at the All England Club and 19th major trophy overall, capping a marvelous fortnight in which he never dropped a set by overwhelming Marin Cilic 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 on Sunday in a lopsided final that was more coronation than contest.
The match ended with an ace from Federer after merely 1 hour, 41 minutes.

He has now won more Wimbledon finals than any other man in the history of an event first held in 1877.
