Roger Federer has yet to lose a set in any of the first six rounds of the 2018 Australian Open tournament, moving into the final after Hyeon Chung had to withdraw due to a blister on his left foot — one that he had gotten shaved and taken injections to fight the pain — but also one that is similar to the problem that Marin Cilic faced when he took on Federer in the Wimbledon final last year. So now Federer moves to take on Cilic once again, although Cilic has had some tougher matches on his road to the final, such as his four-set win over Pablo Carreno Busta in the fourth round and his comeback over Rafael Nadal in five sets in the quarterfinal.
