Stefan Edberg
Edberg also won the Masters Grand Prix and was a part of the Swedish Davis Cup-winning team four times.[1] Edberg also won the tennis tournament at the 1984 Summer Olympics when the sport was an exhibition event and partnered with fellow Swede Anders Järryd to reach the final of the US Open.U.S. fans first took notice of Edberg's professional career when he won the U.S. Indoor in Memphis in February 1985, defeating Yannick Noah in the final.1 Ivan Lendl in a five-set epic in the Australian Open semifinals stopped multiple times by rain and played over two days.In January 1987, he defended his title by defeating local favourite Pat Cash in five sets to win the last Australian Open held on grass courts.In 1988, Edberg reached the first of three consecutive finals at Wimbledon, but lost his ranking as Sweden's number-one-player when Mats Wilander had his best year by winning the Australian, French and US Opens, becoming the world's number-one-ranked player.Edberg reached the French Open final in 1989 but lost in five sets to 17-year-old Michael Chang, who became the youngest-ever male winner of a Grand Slam singles title.In 1990, an abdominal muscle injury forced Edberg to retire from the Australian Open final while trailing Ivan Lendl 5–2 (including two breaks of serve) in the third set.Edberg began playing competitive squash after his retirement from professional tennis and soon became an elite player in Sweden.[1] Federer described Edberg's role as "more of a mentor than a coach";[21] nonetheless, his influence has been widely regarded as pivotal in the Swiss champion's eventual resurgence,[22][23] especially in bringing effective and more frequent serve-and-volley and net charging to his game.[34] In his home country, together with Mats Wilander, he is commonly regarded as the best Swedish tennis player after Björn Borg.
