Roger Federer Reach Final After Hyeon Chung Retires
Roger Federer made it through to a record seventh Australian Open final when South Korean Chung Hyeon retired in the second set of their semi-final.
Defending champion Federer, 36, goes on to face Croatian sixth seed Marin Cilic in Sunday's final.
The world number two is seeking a sixth Australian and 20th Grand Slam title.
Roger Federer will play for a 20th major title on Sunday Jan 28,2018, after his semi-final opponent - Hyeon Chung of South Korea - was forced to pull out of Friday night’s semi-final just before the end of the second set.
It was the second anti-climactic match on Rod Laver Arena in as many days, after Kyle Edmund had been hampered by a hip problem during his own semi-final against Marin Cilic. The two younger men had defied all expectations by surging through to the last four, but when they walked out for the biggest occasions of their short careers, they found they had little left to give.
In Chung’s case, he was undone by a blister on his left foot – a similar problem, coincidentally, to the one that reduced Cilic to tears during his Wimbledon final against Federer last summer.
