Wimbledon Men's Final 2012 Results: Roger Federer Downs Andy Murray To Earn 7th Wimbledon Crown

The people of England wanted to see an upset on Sunday, instead, they witnessed history at the All England Club. Roger Federer defeated Andy Murray 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 in the Wimbeldon Men's Final and earned his seventh crown on the grass surface, a mark that ties him with Pete Sampras for the most all-time.

The victory will also help Federer, 30, reclaim the No. 1 spot in the World Rankings, which come out on Monday.

Meanwhile, Murray failed to become the first British-born player to win the Wimbeldon title in decades. His performance, however, didn't go unnoticed as the hometown tennis fans gave him cheers during his runner-up speech. The support led to Murray breaking down into tears in an emotional movement.

In the end, Federer collects his all-time best 17 major championship and improves his already impressive resume.

Men's Wimbledon Final 2012 Update: Andy Murray, Roger Federer Match Tied, Delayed By Rain

The 2012 Wimbledon Final between Great Britain's Andy Murray and Sweden's Roger Federer is currently being delayed by rain and undergoing a roof-closing process, which will take about 30 minutes. The much anticipated match is tied at one set apiece, as Murray took the first set 6-4, while Federer earned a second set victory of 7-5. The third set is tied at one game apiece with Federer leading 40-0 love in the third game.

The match, which pits the six-time champion (Federer) against hometown hero (Murray), is expected to be delayed for about 30 minutes and will resume around noon ET. The roof at the All England Club had to be closed and then the court then needs to be become climatized, which is a process which helps limit the moisture inside the now enclosed stadium. The positive about the delay is that it will be the only one the Wimbledon Final will encounter and the match will be finished Sunday.

Wimbledon 2012: TV Schedule, Streaming Coverage And More

Sunday marks the 13th and final day of Wimbledon 2012, which will conclude with the men's championship match between No. 3 Roger Federer and No. 4 Andy Murray at 9 a.m. ET.

Federer will attempt to win his seventh Wimbledon title, while Murray is looking to represent his home country of England by winning his first ever major.

Murray will have homecourt advantage, but that also means extra pressure to perform in front of diehard tennis fans anxious for a championship trophy in Great Britain. Federer has been in a title game situation many times before, which could aid him against the less-experienced Murray. Murray does, however, have youth on his side--at 25 years old, he is five years younger than the third-seeded Federer.

All the information you need to know about when and where to watch the final match is below.

Wimbledon 2012: Serena Williams Wins 5th Wimbledon Title In Three Sets

Serena Williams won her fifth Wimbledon Championship, defeating Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska in three sets, 6-1, 5-7, 6-2.

Williams dominated the first set, winning the first five games before Radwanska held serve to make it 5-1. Williams quickly answered back to take the opening set 6-1 in just 36 minutes.

There was a short rain delay between the first and second set, and that time gave Radwanska the time needed to regroup. Even with the extra time, Williams raced ahead to a 4-2 lead in the second set, but Radwanska held serve and broke Serena to take a 5-4 lead. Both players held serve for the next two games before Radwanska again broke Williams to take the second set 7-5 and force a third set.

Both players held serve in the first four games of the third set, but Williams broke Radwanska at 3-2, and that seemed to crush the Pole's confidence. Williams won the next three games to win the match and the championship.

With her victory, Williams became the first woman to win in her 30s at Wimbledon since Martina Navratilova won the 1990 championship at age 33.

Saturday brings us Day 12 of the 2012 Wimbledon Tennis Championships, and with it Serena Williams takes her shot at winning a fifth Wimbledon title. Television and online streaming coverage information is below.

Sixth seeded Williams will face No. 3 seed Agnieszka Radwanska for the Championship. The odds are in her favor; she's look dominant in the tournament thus far, serving up 85 aces and winning 66 of the 72 games in which she was serving.

Whatever the outcome of that match, Williams will also see action in the Ladies' doubles draw. She is teaming with her sister, and they have reached the finals against Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka. A complete Wimbledon scoreboard is available at SI.com.

Roger Federer is heading back to the finals of Wimbledon after defeating top-seeded Novak Djokovic in the first gentlemen's semifinal of the day, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.

Federer controlled the pace of the match, moving Djokovic around the court and forcing the Serbian into uncomfortable positions.

Wimbledon 2012 Scores And Results: Serena Williams Wins In Straight Sets, Advances To Finals

Serena Williams is headed for a familiar destination. The America tennis player won her semifinal match against Victoria Azarenka on Thursday to advance to the Wimbledon finals for the seventh time in her career.

Ranked sixth, Williams, the last American standing in either the women's or men's singles, was an underdog to Azarenka, who at No. 2 became the presumptive favorite after Maria Sharapova was eliminated from play. Williams beat her opponent in straight sets, needing a tiebreak for the second set, to end the match 6-3,7-6. Williams hit a record-breaking 24th ace on the tiebreak to seal the win.

Williams will face No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska from Poland in the finals. Radwanska cruised past No. 8 Angelique Kerber in straight sets in the other semifinal match.

2012 Wimbledon Live TV Schedule, Online Streaming And More

The 2012 Wimbledon Tennis Championships continue on Saturday with no shortage of action for Day 6. Full television coverage and online streaming information is below.

No. 4 seed Andy Murray is in action, facing Marcos Baghdatis.

The two men have faced each other six times, splitting the matches 3-3. Rosol is also playing Saturday, facing Philipp Kohlscreiber. Andy Roddick, seeded 30th, will take on No. 7 seed David Ferrer on Sunday. There are still plenty of doubts about how much Roddick has left, and he has to silence them one match at a time. In the Ladies' draw, No. 6 seed Serena Williams will face No. 25 seed Jie Zheng.

2012 Wimbledon: Venus Williams Falls In Opening Round For First Time In 15 Years

Venus Williams lost in the opening round at Wimbledon on Monday for the first time since 1997, falling to 79th-ranked Elena Vesnina in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3.

Williams managed just one break in the match, which lasted little more than an hour. Vesnina broke Williams five times on the grass courts at Wimbledon, a tournament Williams has won five times.

The older of the Williams sisters was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder last summer and took some time away from tennis. She could not possibly be thrilled with her results on Monday, but doesn't seem like she will consider retirement in the near future.

Via the New York Times:

Pressed to say whether she planned to continue playing competitively after the Olympic Games next month, Venus Williams said: "I feel like I am a great player. I am a great player. Unfortunately, I had to deal with circumstances that people don't normally have to deal with in this sport.

"But I can't be discouraged by that, so I'm up for challenges. I have great tennis in me. I just need the opportunity. There's no way I'm just going to sit down and give up just because I have a hard time the first five or six freakin' tournaments back. You know, that's just not me."
