Can the legendary Roger Federer just about make it to the semi finals of the Australian Open 2018 and in the process, also become the oldest man (at the age of 36) ever to achieve the feat in a tennis tournament? It won't be so easy for the Swiss tennis maestro as he has a tough task against a lanky tennis star in Tomas Berdych.

Federer and Berdych clash swords at the Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday January 24.

The men's singles semi-finals do not feature Novak Djokovic or Rafael Nadal. The juggernauts made the exit in their previous round matches of the Australian Open tournament. While Djokovic was shocked by a rising South Korean tennis star Chung Hyeon, Nadal had to retire hurt during his match against Marin Cilic.
