Not only Becker-Djokovic and Edberg-Federer. Read this analysis from Espn Deportes about all the former top-5 who have recently got back on track as coaches (or whatever...) of today's champions.

The game has changed so much since those guys, but the only thing I can hope is that those guys from 90's teach and preach the merits of attacking tennis a bit more so that things can get a bit more interesting on the court. The way it is now, I really do not have a huge incentive to watch a Nole-Murray match, except that I do because I love tennis and this is all I got.

Not yet. It is almost sure that he will not be Fed's coach in Brisbane
and AO at least (although this is unofficial as well).

But, I think he will eventually become his coach after they have
had time to workout the details of travel schedule, salary, coaching
command structure etc. I estimate that he will be Fed's coach
starting from Dubai.

I love Edberg so it'll be interesting to see what he brings to Roger's game IF he does join Roger's coaching team. However, this Becker\Nole thing? Disaster waiting to happen. I don't know what he's thinking in hiring Becker. Hopefully this works out better than the disaster of Sharapova hiring-and-quickly-firing Jimmy Connors. I can only assume Nole is looking for someone to help him with his net game. I think he'd be better off with someone a little less, er, obnoxious.
