If this 2018 Australian Open is anything to go by, the WTA Tour is in for an entertaining season complete with all kinds of epic matches. As for the men…not so much. The story was a much different one for the ATP Tour last year Down Under, where one of the semifinals and the title match were both instant classics. […]
For the second time in the span of three Grand Slams, Roger Federer and Marin Cilic will be squaring off in a final when they take the court one more time at the 2018 Australian Open on Sunday night.

During third-round action on Saturday, the 36-year-old held off Richard Gasquet 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 after one hour and 59 minutes. […]
Roger Federer has cruised through two rounds, but the competition level is increasing in the form of Richard Gasquet on Saturday at the Australian Open. Novak Djokovic, who already endured one tough test, is aiming for a spot in the second week at the expense of Albert Ramos-Vinolas. […]

A relatively loaded bottom half of the Australian Open draw features Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Stan Wawrinka, David Goffin, and Juan Martin Del Potro.
