Tony Roche

Tony Roche, 59, (in 2005) a great Australian tennis player of yesteryears and French Open Champion in 1966, is now acting as a part-time coach for Roger since the beginning of 2005. It was after much insistence and perseverance from Federer that Roche, now home-sick after several years of travel as a coach for Ivan Lendl and Patrick Rafter, had accepted this position.
