Federer recruits Edberg for coaching team

Roger Federer has become the latest player to recruit a 1980s great, with Stefan Edberg joining the former world number one’s coaching team.

Federer invited six-time grand slam champion Edberg to work with him for a few days in Dubai earlier this month and the Swede hinted it could turn into something more permanent.

Now Federer has confirmed he will work with Edberg for a minimum of 10 weeks, starting at the Australian Open in two weeks’ time.
