"In the second set I felt he was getting slower. And at one point, it's just too much and you can't take it anymore — you can't go on", he said. "The thought process is not like 'What would have been better?' That's why this one feels bittersweet".

"There is nothing you can do about it anyway, so I'm just happy I am in the final". He had a similar problem like Chung had in the Wimbledon final.

"But they have faced each other more recently and in more unusual surroundings".

"You're kidding me", an incredulous Federer said. I could tell something was wrong, but he has a great composure. "I was like, "Oh, that's cool". He didn't want to bother me.

"I enjoyed the two weeks, on court and off court".

"I thank my team, I love you guys" he added.

"He was eager to hit because it's good to stay in the rhythm for both of us". The fairytale continues for us, and for me.

Cilic's lone win came at the 2014 US Open semifinals. They met under much more relaxed circumstances, while on vacation in the Maldives. It was great fun.

All four tennis majors are played in summer across the globe, although the summers in Paris, London and NY do not reach the scorching temperatures they do in Australia.

No Wentz, no shot, right? On February 4th, the Philadelphia Eagles square off against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII. Given the stakes, it was likely the best game of his career. "Defensively, we're going to have to do our job".

In a statement, President Donald Trump condemned the attack and said it "renews our resolve and that of our Afghan partners". Security officials said further attacks were likely and security was tightened around potential targets in the city.

The bombing, which occurred in a crowded area of the city centre, has also left another 235 people injured, officials said. It was the third major attack in Afghanistan in the past week and one of the deadliest in the shell-shocked capital.

Meanwhile, Cilic's dream of becoming the first Croat to win an Australian Open and his second major title was destroyed.

Federer won in Melbourne and at Wimbledon previous year to return to the reckoning in grand slams after it had been assumed he had gone beyond the peak of his powers.

36 year old Roger Federer continued his history making editions in the world of Tennis when he qualified for his 30th grand slam final after going past 21 year old Korean.

The Swiss ties the record for men's Australian Open titles at six with Novak Djokovic and Roy Emerson, and moves four clear of Rafael Nadal in the all-time list for male Grand Slam champions on 20. "If the big moments come about, that they can attain this level", he said.

When Chung held serve to make it 1-1 in the second set a huge cheer went up from the Australia Day crowd who had hoped to witness a classic battle of the generations.

The South Korean confirmed he had been struggling with multiple blisters for several days and an injection to try to numb the pain was not successful.

'I would have preferred a normal end (to the Chung match), yes. "If I play bad on the court, it's not good for the fans and audience as well", he said.

"I am happy that I got a chance in the fifth set and I got lucky in the beginning of the fifth".
