Federer has employed six-time grand slam champion Edberg for 10 weeks this season, starting at the Rod Laver Arena against home hope James Duckworth on Tuesday, as he once again bids to
challenge the world's elite.
Four-time former Australian Open champion Federer, who is currently ranked sixth in the world rankings after a forgettable 2013, was rarely stretched in a 6-4 6-4 6-2 victory against the energetic, if limited, Duckworth in extreme temperatures.
"It's great fun to be playing in front of him (Edberg) and it's been a dream come true for me," Federer said.
"I used to watch his matches and get inspired to play this great game so to have him in my corner through the year and this tournament is very special and I can't be thankful enough."
