The Wimbledon Men's final between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic went on to be the longest-ever final played so far, with Djokovic defeating Federer 7-6, 1-6, 7-6, 4-6, 13-12 to win his fifth Wimbledon title.

In the Cricket World Cup final, England defeated New Zealand in a thrilling encounter. The match between both these sides did not have a winner after 50-over and a super over. England were announced as the winner as they had hit more boundaries in the match.

ICC continued the thread after the conclusion of the match, asking fans: "Right... Couldn't have been a crazier day for sport in London! What do we suggest people do tomorrow?"
