AO Doubles Final: Battle For Maiden Slam Title

Opportunity is knocking at Melbourne Park, and either the pair of Oliver Marach/Mate Pavic or Juan Sebastian Cabal/Robert Farah will seize that chance Saturday evening to claim their maiden Grand Slam title at the Australian Open.

Edmund has used his to make himself comfortable during the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time. Before this fortnight, the unseeded 23-year-old had never won two five-set matches at the same tournament or reached past the fourth round of a Grand Slam (2016 US Open).

Federer, Berdych Set To Clash For 26th Time Down Under

Four and a half years without a Grand Slam title is a long time to wait for a legend of the sport.
