Well, Roger Federer did it, he won the men's Wimbledon final, he is the Wimbledon champion for the seventh time, earning him his seventeenth Grand Slam. Which means Oxfam will be collecting winnings of £101,840 thanks to the bet bequeathed to the charity by Nick Newlife.

He's a deserving champion, magnanimous and gentlemanly, as well as being pretty nifty on a tennis court, but it would have been fantastic to have seen Andy Murray win. Congratulations to Federer and Oxfam, and commiserations to Murray - go for gold in the Olympics instead!
