The first set went to Federer, he was able to snatch the decisive break in the fifth game, eventually going on to take the set 6-3.
Cilic progress was hampered as he called for a medical timeout even as doctors ran out to tend to his foot, but he was able to continue into the second set.
However, clearly affected, and was blown away 6-1 in less than half an hour by the great champion and again required the trainer to further re-examine his foot. But Federer clinched the final set 6 - 4 to win the championship.
Federer cruised into the final without dropping a set. The last man to win Wimbledon without dropping a set was Bjorn Borg in 1976.
