The Daily Mix: Previewing the men's AO final

Will it be Roger Federer's 20th or Marin Cilic's second major on Sunday in Melbourne? The men's final promises to be exciting—at least fans hope so after Cilic's disappointing showing at the Wimbledon final.

Federer has cruised to the final, even benefitting from a second-set retirement from Hyeon Chung in the semifinals. Cilic, too, had a simple time in the semifinals, breezing past Kyle Edmund.

Federer holds the edge in head-to-head encounters, 8-1 with Cilic's only victory coming at the 2014 US Open (the year he won it).
