Roger Federer has crushed an ailing Marin Cilic 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 to win a record 8th Wimbledon title.

It was clear after five games that Cilic had a leg problem and Federer capitalised to record a crushing victory, having not dropped a set during the tournament.

It's the 35 year old's 19th Grand Slam title, putting him four clear of Rafael Nadal on the all time list.

Tennis commentator Dave Luddy joins Larry Williams to discuss the win.
