Some of the sports stories The Associated Press is covering Sunday. A full Sports Digest will be sent by about 3 p.m. All times EDT:
- LONDON - Roger Federer tries to win a record eighth men's singles championship at Wimbledon, facing Marin Cilic in the final.
- LONDON - Garbine Muguruza's victory over Venus Williams in the Wimbledon final, combined with a win against Serena in last year's French Open final, made the 23-year-old Spaniard the only woman to defeat each of the sisters in a Grand Slam title match. That alone marks her as a likely, and worthy, heir to the two women who changed their sport.
