Federer has reached the final of the Australian Open for a stunning seventh time after beating Hyeon Chung at the Rod Laver Arena today.

The 36-year-old was written off many years ago when Nadal and Djokovic were at the peak of their powers.

However, should Roger Federer beat Marin Cilic in Sunday's final, then the veteran will have won three Grand Slams in a year.

And the Swiss star has admitted he once wanted only one more major - but is now determined to do even better than that.

"I know how hard it is to win in any major," he said after his match against Chung.

"Years ago I ran into the Novaks and Rafas along the way and they blocked me for some time.

"I was going to be happy to win one more before I retired.

"Now here we are, I'm one match away from another."

Federer also lifted the lid on what his trophy cabinet looks like.

"I have most of them at home. Not all of them," he added.

"I have a nice trophy cabinet. Sometimes I go through it and think 'wow' and sometimes I'm like 'it's just tennis'.

"When we have friends round it's cool to look at Olympic medals and trophies. It's something I've worked very hard for."
