Stefan Edberg

Stefan Edberg is a Swedish former world No. 1 professional tennis player known for his serve-and-volley style. He won six Grand Slam singles titles and three Grand Slam doubles titles between 1985 and 1996. Edberg is one of only two men in the Open Era to have been ranked world No. 1 in both singles and doubles, alongside John McEnroe.

Throughout his career, Edberg also won the Masters Grand Prix, four Masters Series titles, and four Championship Series titles. He was part of Sweden's Davis Cup-winning team four times and won the unofficial 1984 Olympic tournament. Edberg maintained a top 10 singles ranking for ten consecutive years and was in the top five for nine years. After retiring, he coached Roger Federer from January 2014 to December 2015.

Edberg first gained attention as a junior player, winning all four Grand Slam junior titles in 1983. As a professional, he won his first doubles title in Basel in 1983 and his first singles title in Milan in 1984. He claimed his first Grand Slam singles titles at the Australian Open and won doubles titles at the Australian Open and US Open in 1987. He reached three consecutive Wimbledon finals from 1988 to 1990, creating a memorable rivalry with Boris Becker.

Edberg became the world No. 1 in August 1990 after winning the Cincinnati Masters, holding the position for much of 1991 and 1992. His final Grand Slam singles titles were at the US Open, defeating Jim Courier in 1991 and Pete Sampras in 1992. He also played on four Swedish Davis Cup-winning teams and won the men's singles gold medal at the 1984 Olympics.

During his career, Edberg won 42 singles titles and 18 doubles titles and appeared in a record 54 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments. He was world No. 1 for a total of 72 weeks and received the ATP's Sportsmanship Award five times, leading to the award being renamed in his honor. Edberg was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2004.
