Edberg adjusting to new role

Melbourne Park has changed so much in the 18 years since Stefan Edberg played his last match at the Australian Open that he found it a little disorienting to return this year as the newest member of Roger Federer's coaching team.

"I'm lost," he said on Monday, laughing. "I don't recognize the place."

Even though there are major differences from when Edberg was a player - he won his two Australian Open titles when the tournament was still played on grass courts at Kooyong in 1985 and 1987 and lost finals at Melbourne Park in 1992 and '93 - he looked comfortable in his new role as a coach as he watched the 17-time major winner hit serves on a practice court.
