Novak Djokovic
But Federer has been tearing up tennis records virtually his whole career and his seventh appearance in the final here sets yet another new mark.
The defending champion was leading 6-1, 5-2 and in full control when Chung retired with foot blisters, bringing the curtain down on a breakout tournament in which he announced himself as a future star in the making.
It wasn't how Federer expected to advance.
"There's enough wear and tear on the body, there's enough tough matches throughout the season that when they happen, you take them. I think I can play better next time".
"I'm just happy I'm in the final, to be honest". Now it's redrawn. They tried injections to see if it numbed the pain. He also sensed something wrong with Chung's movement. "I couldn't tell what was going on with my opponent".
"That's when you realise there is no way you can come back and you make things really worse, it is better to stop". "He's had such a wonderful tournament". Cilic has been lights out with his serve for majority of the tournament and the fact he's had an extra day over his opponent can't hurt.
Federer, who spent just over an hour on court, will play No. 6-seeded Marin Cilic in the final on Sunday night.

The MV Butiraoi, a 17.5m wooden catamaran, was reported overdue last night after leaving Nonouiti Island, Kiribati on January 18. The boat is equipped with a high frequency radio, but it is not known whether there is enough fuel or water on board.
Hyeon Chung pulled out suddenly late in the second set of the pair's semifinal, unable to continue with blisters on his feet.
"Top 10 for sure", said Federer, who set up a final against big-serving Croat Marin Cilic after reaching a Grand Slam final without dropping a set for the sixth time.
But it took a toll. He played only two more games before he quit. But I think I did right thing.
Federer focused on that - rather than the ignominious end - when hyping up what lies in store for the 21-year-old.
Hyeon Chung had a run he could never have dreamed of this year at the 2018 Australian Open. "I'm just happy I'm in the final, to be honest". Because he has played so many matches in a row, I think that's why it was a buildup.
With victory, Federer ensured one of the so-called Big Four - with Nadal, Djokovic, Andy Murray - has featured in the final since 2005. After two weeks in Melbourne, our experts predict who will win the men's final.
However, the 23-year-old pulled off an upset in five sets against the South African, before defeating Denis Istomin, Nikoloz Basilashvili, Andreas Seppi and Grigor Dimitrov as he progressed to his first major semi-final.
