After lifting his record eighth Wimbledon title, 19-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer gave graceful acceptance speeches in front of adoring Centre Court crowds.

Federer outclassed Marin Cilic of Croatia 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 in his 11th final at the All England Club that lasted for one hour and 37 minutes on the Centre Court on Sunday.

Federer, not far off 36, puts a huge emphasis on his family.

On Sunday, he said: "It's a wonderful moment for us as a family. This one's for us".

 

His younger set of twins, however, didn't look quite so interested.

The two boys were born almost five years after the arrival of their twin sisters Myla Rose and Charlene Riva in July 2009 triggered a flurry of good-natured jokes about future doubles champions.
