Stefan Edberg and Roger Federer formed a great partnership in the last 2 years. The Swiss Maestro re-invented himself with a more aggressive tennis. Edberg was definitely a key player in that, but everything has an end and this was no exception.
Edberg: we had great time together …
Stefan explained “Roger and I had a wonderful two years together. When he originally approached me at the end of 2013, I committed to work with him for only a year. It became very clear from the start that this was going to be a special partnership, working with the greatest ambassador tennis has ever seen. It was exciting for me to be back out on tour and to see that the sport has made so much progress”
… but that it was a 2-year agreement
The Edberg added “After an amazing 2014, I decided to continue on for another year, but with a clear understanding that it would be my last year given the time commitment. I believe Roger still has a lot left to give to the sport of tennis and is capable of winning the big events.
Roger and I will remain close friends and I will always feel part of the Federer team. I hope to try and come watch Roger play some tournaments in 2016.”
Well… that was great, time to move on!
