Federer beats Murray to win record-breaking seventh Wimbledon title

Roger Federer won his record-tying seventh Wimbledon title on Sunday, crushing Andy Murray four-six,
seven-five, six-three, six-four below a closed roof on Centre Court. The seventeen time Grand Slam champion ruled once the roof was closed early in the 3rd set, giving Murray little chance to end Britain's 76-year  wait for a homegrown champion.

Federer is now 17-7 in Grand Slam finals, admitting 7-1 at Wimbledon. Murray dropped off to 0-4 in major finals, with three of those losing coming versus Federer.



The last British man to win the Wimbledon tropy was Fred Perry in 1936.

Sunday's match was the first Wimbledon singles final to be played with the roof shut. The roof was first used at the All England Club in 2009.
