Coach de roger federer biography

As sports minded as we might be, it is surprising to know that selling sports biographies is very difficult. The books could be about footballers, swimmers, basketballers, golfers, and obviously tennis players, but just don’t necessarily sell in the numbers that might be expected.

Maybe it is because so often the subject matter of the books is so well known that the information in the book is not revealing much new information.

Obviously, there are exceptions. The American journalist and author John Feinstein wrote a book called “A Season on the Brink” about college basketball coach Bobby Knight. It was a runaway success and sat on the New York Times Bestseller list for ages. After that John, who I have known for many years, was pretty much provided with blank cheques for his following books.

When it comes to books on tennis and its athletes the Andre Agassi autobiography “Open” is possibly the most celebrated.

Roger Federer: Swiss star was 'perfect' player, but we had 'difficult times mentally' - Ivan Ljubicic

Ivan Ljubicic has opened up on his time and relationship with Roger Federer during the final years of the legendary player’s professional career.

Ljubicic, a former world No. 3, replaced Stefan Edberg as Federer’s coach in December 2015 and led him to the last three of his 20 Grand Slam titles.

"I was working in London with Italian television for the Masters, and he invited me, his wife and my wife to dinner,” the Croatian explained on how he crossed paths with the Swiss star in an exclusive interview with Eurosport France.

“He asked me if I'd be interested in working with him. I was really surprised because I didn't know Stefan Edberg was going to stop. I said ‘Yes, absolutely’.

“After that, we continued to talk about goals. He asked me if I thought he could still win Grand Slams because he hadn't won one for four years. I said ‘absolutely’. 

“I also said I wasn't signing up for just one Grand Slam, I said I'd like to win several."
