Five years after tying with Pete Sampras and William Renshaw, Federer defeated a tearful Cilic 6-3 6-1 6-4 to become the first man to lift the trophy eight times. Federer scored an eighth ace on match point to clinch his 19th grand-slam title and described winning Wimbledon as something to savour. “To be Wimbledon champion for an entire year now is something I can’t wait to savour and enjoy.” Federer won his final grand-slam trophy at the Australian Open the following year and after struggling with a knee problem for three years, he announced his retirement from tennis in September 2022.
