Hyeon Chung has become the world's first Korean athlete to make it to a tennis grand slam semi-final. The Swiss later admitted that he stole the first set from his adversary as he arrived in the last four of a Grand Slam for the 43rd time - and the 11th time without dropping a set.
While Federer will start the overwhelming favourite, Chung's triumphs over the likes of Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev on the road to the semi-finals suggest he shouldn't be underestimated.
Yet Federer is again still standing. It was a straight-set victory, something that Federer has earned against Cilic every time but twice - his loss, and at the 2016 Wimbledon quarterfinals, when he beat Cilic in five sets.
It was different past year, when Federer was coming back from a long break and played a series of lengthy matches.
"He just loves the environment", Chung's South African coach Neville Godwin said. "Things must be all right if I haven't dropped a set and in the final".
After all, the 36-year-old Swiss star had the standing of the so-called Big Four to protect - there hasn't been a final at Melbourne Park since 2005 that hasn't featured Federer, Nadal, Djokovic or Andy Murray. It ended up being key to the match.
After the match, Federer said he knew his opponent "was having issues with his feet" heading into the contest, but praised Chung's future and how he handled himself in Melbourne.
"The guy is biting into a towel for a minute, you have to do it pretty close to match time otherwise it wears off".

And Federer has welcomed the presence of some fresh faces in the latter stages of a grand slam. "I have to think about the ceremony".
"To beat him here is one of the tough things to do in our sport", Federer said. "I like those attitudes".
"On the court, he's a victor". He needed a pain-killing injection before the match, and a medical timeout to retape his left foot after going down a break in the second set.
"I got one note from a player in the hospital when I broke my neck".
"He's serving really good and taking the ball quite early. I thought he played an incredible match against Novak", he said.
A rising favorite in the prestigious tournament, the talented 21-year-old has been touted as an icon for his unprecedented run as the lowest ranked player to reach the Australian Open semifinal since Marat Safin in 2004. If I play bad on the court, it's not good for the fans as well.
"Feeling really excited about the final, too".
