Roger Federer’s bid for a 20th Grand Slam was not once put under threat by Hyeon Chung as the South Korean was thoroughly outclassed in Friday’s short semi-final.
Federer raced into his 30th major single’s final, facing and surviving just one break point before Chung retired hurt trailing 6-1 5-2.
Chung had treatment on a blistered foot midway through the second set and, despite initially playing on through the pain, he called time on the match after just under 63 minutes of play.
