PARIS: Marin Cilic is 33, nearly eight seasons past his one Grand Slam title at the 2014 US Open — and, until Wednesday, more than four full years removed from his most recent trip to the semifinals of a major tournament.

Billed as a showdown between the champions of Europe and South American and being played for the first time since 1993, there only ever looked like being one winner on Giorgio Chiellini’s final international appearance as Lionel Scaloni’s side stretched their unbeaten run to 32 matches. A former defender, Scaloni spent half a season on loan at West Ham in 2006 under the management of Alan Pardew and, with Messi pulling the strings from a deeper position, he has clearly assembled a side that should be considered genuine contenders for the World Cup later this year.

Copa America champions Argentina comfortably defeated European Championship winners Italy 3-0 to take the Finalissima at Wembley. Lautaro Martinez and Angel Di Maria were on target as Lionel Scaloni’s side secured the ‘Cup of Champions’ — it is the second time La Albiceleste have won the trophy after defeating Denmark way back in 1993, the last time the competition was held.
Croatia's Marin Cilic fired 33 aces past seventh-seeded Andrey Rublev to reach his first French Open semi-final on Wednesday with a 5-7, 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (10/2) win.
