Federer easily matching Cilic's best efforts here, he looks gutted. Can only see this going one way now...

Oh. Dear.

Stumble Bum · 16 Jul 2017 at 14:56

This looks over already.

el_dazza · 16 Jul 2017 at 14:56

I think we could have an early end here. Cilic is in tears.

Pigeon_Killer · 16 Jul 2017 at 14:56

This isn't looking good for Cilic.

Edit: Can't remember the last time we had a retirement in a slam final, plenty of injuries that have cost people but they've played through.

Looks like he's having a mental breakdown!

Robbo · 16 Jul 2017 at 14:58

What's up with Cilic!

Psycho Ned · 16 Jul 2017 at 14:59

Good news if you're keen to find out who the new Dr Who is

If you look at the amount of injuries this tournament and the stress players are having to put there body under just to compete at the highest levels, it really puts in to perspective what Federer is able to achieve at 35 years of age.

el_dazza · 16 Jul 2017 at 15:02

Decent game there, maybe he needed to clear his head. Chance on the Fed serve now too.

He's benefiting from not slogging his guts out all over the world. Had 6 months off (admittedly due to injury!) rocked up in Australia and won, skipped the whole clay court season to prepare for Wimby and here he is in the final.

I think Murray has suffered all this season from running around the world playing everything just to get World No 1 last year.

This is awful.

Pigeon_Killer · 16 Jul 2017 at 15:13

Hard to believe it's nerves when he's a slam winner but he's not having any treatment.

Edit: Just as a type that he's having work on his foot.

Merlin5 · 16 Jul 2017 at 15:15

This is all over. Not a cats chance in hell that Cilic will win 1 set, let alone 3 sets in a row.
Congrats Federer, 8 Wimbledon titles!

Robbo · 16 Jul 2017 at 15:15

Cilic looks broken, mentally and physically.

el_dazza · 16 Jul 2017 at 15:15

That's one manky foot right there.

Psycho Ned · 16 Jul 2017 at 15:42

Game over Well it was game over about an hour ago but now it's definitely game over

Pigeon_Killer · 16 Jul 2017 at 15:51

History.

Stumble Bum · 16 Jul 2017 at 15:52

Greatest of all time

Merlin5 · 16 Jul 2017 at 15:52

Amazing.
