Roger Federer back to being supreme in tennis, lording over the sport the way no man has

Roger Federer’s wait for No. 8 at Wimbledon is over.

He is once again the champion of the grass-court Grand Slam tournament, now more often than any other man in the history of an event first held in 1877.

Federer won his eighth title at the All England Club and 19th major trophy overall, capping a marvellous fortnight in which he never dropped a set by overwhelming Marin Cilic 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 yesterday in a lopsided final that was more coronation than contest.
