It was around 20 years in the absolute world elite for Roger Federer, but now it's over.

In the end, it was the injuries that put an end to the 41-year-old.

- It is perhaps not entirely surprising.

Roger has had a fantastic career and at some point you come to the end of your career.

He has had quite a few injuries and it is clear that age is taking its toll.

At the same time, it's boring, there will be a big void, says Edberg.

Between 2013-2015, Edberg coached Federer, who stayed on 20 grand slam titles.

- He is one of the greatest athletes in all categories, all sports.

On the one hand, he is a fantastic tennis player, but he also has incredible qualities off the court.

Both as a person and towards sponsors and fans.

He is a very complete person in many ways, says Edberg, who himself has won six grand slam tournaments.

What do you remember most from your time coaching Federer?

- It was above all exciting to be part of his team and see how he works.

To be close during and before the matches.

You have seen some fantastic training sessions when he lets loose and plays relaxed.

What does his retirement mean for tennis?

- It is clear that he has been extremely important for tennis.

It's been a great trio with (Rafael) Nadal and (Novak) Djokovic that has dominated tennis for 10-15 years.

At the same time, it is filling up with new stars and it feels very fun.

You saw that in the US Open with (Carlos) Alcaraz.

How high do you rank him in tennis history?

- He is perhaps the best tennis player and also stands out in other sports.

Considering the success he has had and the greatness both on and off the court.

As a tennis ambassador, he is absolutely the greatest ever.
