Federer wins record 8th Wimbledon men's singles championship


LONDON — After Roger Federer closed out a Wimbledon final that was more of a coronation than a contest with an ace, he sat in his changeover chair and wiped away tears. His first major title came at Wimbledon in 2003, and was followed by others in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. With Federer up 3-0 in the second set, Cilic cried while he was visited by a doctor and trainer. In a turn-back-the-clock moment, he faced rival Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open final and, with a fifth-set comeback, won. He's not, of course, the same 21-year-old kid who had a ponytail and scruff when he beat Mark Philippoussis in the 2003 Wimbledon final.
