Coach Edberg embraces challenge of Fed express

Six-time Grand Slam champion Stefan Edberg said on Monday he never imagined he would be sitting in the stands as Roger Federer's lone coach at the Rogers Cup.

The 48-year-old Swede is in charge of coaching arrangements in Canada, with Federer's main coach, Severin Luthi, not attending the ATP event that begins the serious build-up to the US Open in three weeks.

Edberg said that after receiving the call from Federer last December inviting him to join his coaching team, life has changed more than he could have imagined.
