In tennis, Roger Federer of Switzerland triumphs over Marin Čilić of Croatia, winning the men's singles tournament at Wimbledon. Federer secures his eighth Wimbledon singles title, surpassing the records set by William Renshaw and Pete Sampras. He becomes the oldest player in the Open Era to claim the Wimbledon men's singles title and the first since Björn Borg in 1976 to do so without dropping a set. Federer's victory extends his Open Era record to 19 Grand Slam men's singles titles.
