Roger Federer missed his bid for an eight Wimbledon title, losing Sunday to No. 1-ranked Novak Djokovic in four sets. The match seemed closer than the score, with some phenomenal serving, shot-making and incredibly hard-fought points. On the women’s side, Serena Williams dispatched Garbine Muguruza of Spain in straight sets, and she’s closing in on the Grand Slam – winning Wimbledon and the Australian, French and U.S. Opens in the same calendar year. Only three women have done that: Maureen Connolly in 1953, Margaret Court in 1970 and Steffi Graf in 1988. The New York Times’ coverage of the weekend at Wimbledon was top-notch, including a dazzling computer graphic showing how it would feel to face a 150 mph serve.
