Roger Federer's former coach has already made it clear that the public got the wrong perception of the Swiss legend. Last year, Ivan Ljubicic disclosed how the 20-time Grand Slam winner invited him for a meal before bringing him into his coaching setup ahead of the 2016 campaign.
The Croatian, who transitioned from playing to coaching, remained with Federer right through to his retirement in 2022. And he reckons the public's view of the Swiss legend is mistaken. Ljubicic proved instrumental in helping Federer rediscover his finest form. He came on board in 2016, though they encountered a significant hurdle when injury forced the Swiss maestro to cut short his season following Wimbledon.
