ROGER Federer isn’t just thrilling fans with his magic feats — fellow sporting superstars across the world are also in awe.

Federer crushed injury-hit Marin Cilic 6-3 6-1 6-4 in Sunday’s final to move past Pete Sampras and William Renshaw into sole possession of first place on the list of male Wimbledon champions.

The 35-year-old, who now has 19 Grand Slam titles, is the oldest man to win Wimbledon in the Open era and the first since Bjorn Borg in 1976 to go through the entire tournament without dropping a set.

An emotional Federer described the win as one of the most magical of his career and his sporting peers agreed.

It wasn’t just tennis stars lining up to laud him on social media either, with megastars from football, golf, cricket and more paying tribute.
