Here are the official Australian Open semi-finals:

Cilic vs Edmund and Federer vs Chung.

-If Federer wins the tournament he will have a gap by Nadal of only 155 points! Federer is the only player who has not lost 1 set in this tournament.
-If Cilic reaches the final he will improve his best ranking going up to third place in the atp ranking.
-Obviously best ranking also for Chung and Edmund, currently they are both in the top 30 for the first time in their career.

Atp rankings projections:

1)Nadal 9760
2)Federer 8325 if he loses in the semifinal, 8805 if he loses in final, 9605 if he wins the tournament.
3)Dimitrov 4630 (4th if Cilic reaches the final)
4)A.Zverev 4610 (5th if Cilic reaches the final)
5)Cilic 4480 if he loses in the semifinal, 3) 4960 if he loses in final, 3)5760 if he wins the tournament
6)Thiem 4060
7)Goffin 3460
8)Sock 2880
9)Del Potro 2815
10)Carreno-Busta 2705

*if Edmund wins the tournament he is 8th with 2947 points!

I am having this feeling that the South Korean is going to beat Roger Federer during the semi finals and though i am all for Federer, it is really dawning on me that he might lose and even if Federer wins the competition, there is no way that he is going to take over the World No. 1 position.

That was some great tennis by Federer to come back in the first set being down and then winning the set. It just goes to show how good of a player Federer really is even at his age, he is still able to play at the top of his game. I don't think we'll ever see another player like him in our lifetime and now I really hope he goes onto winning this years Australia Open and make it Grand Slam number 20 which is amazing!

He's playing pretty well.
Best year of his career for sure!

Best year for him was when he won US Open against Nishikori, yes definitely Cilic play very well at AO but I think he will be hard to beat Roger who is tennis legend. It will be a reprise of Wimbledon final 2017.

Yes now with Nadal,Dimitrov out and also Djokovic, it opens up the dorr for Federer to win once again. However I'm really liking the South Korean Chung who could cause a major upset and win the Australian Open. I think out of the remaining Men's he is in the best form and of course Federer as well. I think it would be good to see a young player make the final and maybe even win it all.

Every one surprised after Chung wins that match. Soon the quarter-final match is going begin between Chung and Tennys Sandgren united states. Chung ranking is better than Sandgren so if Chung plays like the last match then he can win this match easily and can enter semifinals. I strongly believe that Chung will win today's match.

Chung's style of play is very similar to Djokovic and he himself mentioned that he tries to copy him because Djoker is his idol . Too bad to see Rafa loose in such a way Sad

It was an incredible tennis match though , I hope he recovers soon and comes back stronger for clay tourneys .

So many surprises in this Australian Open with so many favorites eliminated, and Cilic, Edmund and Chung already in the semifinals!
Great chance for Roger Federer to win again here and shorten the gap from Nadal for the first place in the atp ranking!

After all surprises now Federer reached semifinals, he is having a great chance to win this title and improve his scores to reach Nadal. it was really bad luck for Nadal, but Cilic played a fantastic game. Now, all set for semifinals let's see what surprises we are going to see in semis.

My thoughts exactly! I did bet quite heavily in the last Grand Slam and I was sure Fedex still had one more win in him. But after many months break from tennis, I was lured back with Nadal and Djokovic's exit. I didn't bet on Federer today, reserving instead for a juicy @2.x on Edmund to beat Cilic and progress. But after today, it will be Federer all the way, lining up straight bets for my favourite Swiss guy at the moment.

A bet on Edmund to win before his semifinal progress would have been a cool 300/1 but I am thinking a small side bet at 26/1 is still very attractive. Wish I don't bet so heavily on underdogs but oh well =)

For me Edmund is the biggest surprise, Chung had some notable results in the past, and Cilic is where he should be based on the ranking and grand slam records.
Before Nadal, Cilic has passed following opponents: Pospisil (Cilic is always good vs. big servers), Sousa, Harrison, Carreno Busta (in this fast conditions Cilic was a solid favorite). I expected he would make some problems for Nadal early in the match but that he will not be able to keep up his game trough whole match. He actually impressed me with the level of play and of course Nadal injury helped in the end.

Going away to watch Federer a bit, it seems Berdych actually decided to play today so we could have a match on our hands

Angelique Kerber is indeed on fire this year as she routed and won against Madison Keys in straight sets with a 6-1, 6-2 victory, she is taking out most of the big guns in the Australian Open this year, after edging out Sharapova in the third round.

With the retirement of Nadal, the chances are getting higher and higher for Federer to retain the title! There is still some competition left with Cilic (and Edmund maybe), but normally Federer should win the Australian Open 2018!
I am looking forward to the match of Mertens vs Wozniacki. Wozniacki is the favorite, but the way Mertens is playing, nothing is easy anymore. I hope she can hold her nerves together.

1st Quarterfinal match Edmund won against Dimitrov by 6 - 4, 3 - 6, 6 - 3, 6 - 4. up to 2nd set this game was exciting later it became one side game, but well played by Edmund.

Another match b/w Nadal vs Cilic is going on. 1st set Nadal lead by 4 - 3, in this game my fav is Nadal I think he will win this match.

Definitely didn't expect Dimitrov to lose. I saw him as a favorite in this part of the draw. Watching Nadal vs Cilic now. Cilic managed to take second set I hope he will continue in the same way.

Edit: The matched finished. Cilic won after Nadal pulled out in 5th set. But nevertheless it was a good performance from Cilic and I am happy to see him trough. let's hope it is nothing serious with Nadal.

Oop's Nadal out from this tournament. Cilic played fantastic innings he never gives up until the last set. I was expected this result when Cilic is paying 4th set but not expected that Nadal will retire and go. Congrats to Cilic and I hope Nadal will recover soon.

Though i wanted Federer to win the tournament,i also wanted him to face Nadal so that it could have made the victory even more awesome but it seems most of the major star players are out injured since last year and more are getting injured whiles playing. Hopefully Federer is able to successfully defend the title.

Another day, another surprise lol. Didn't expect the win of Edmund over Dimitrov, but congrats to Edmund!
Elise Mertens is believing a dream at the Australian open as she has reached, for the first time in her career, the semi final of a grand slam! With the way she is playing, a place in the final is even possible!

I didn't expect Djokovic to lose in straigth sets against Chung, but Djokovic was not 100 % in form. The most logic final would be Federer vs Nadal, with Federer coming out on top Grin

. However, giving the form of Cilic, Nadal is faced with a difficult quarter final.

Yeah I didn't expect this either, I knew Chung would be a tough match up for Djokovic as Chung is in top form right now and to be honest he could beat any of the remaining players on his day. I think Chung is the dark horse to take this years Australia Open and I wouldn't be surprised to see him do it.
