After a long wait of two and a half year, Roger Federer proved him again by winning his 7th Wimbledon title by defeating Britain’s Andy Murray 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 in the finals on Sunday. After this win, it became his 17th career Grand Slam and returned to the No.1 ranking.
This is Federer's first Grand Slam in two-and-a-half years after he won Australian Open in 2010. With this victory he joined the list of winning seven Wimbledon title with legendary William Renshaw and Pete Sampras.
Though, Murray, in his first Wimbledon finals, was successful in clinching the first set 4-6 from Federer but could make it again against the highly motivated Federer.
Federer geared up in the second set to see out the set, breaking at 6-5 with the deftest of net shots.
After a 1-1 set, the match got interrupted for the third set for 40 minutes and the game started Murray looked helpless in front of Federer who had no intention to loose now. The result came in favour of the Swiss star at 6-3.
The fourth set came with 2-2 once, but it all seemed to take much more out of
Murray than it did out of Federer.
Though, Murray tried hard to dominate himself in the fifth game, rushing into
the net behind a baseline shot, but Federer smashed it back to Murray's path to
gain a point.
Federer stabilized as Murray got tensed up, and it went with serve to 5-3.
Serving for the title, Federer, inevitably, kept his cool throughout and at last won by 6-4.
