London - Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg will be back on Centre Court for the Wimbledon final...but this time they won't be playing.
Edberg, the Swedish great who won six Grand Slam titles, is the coach of Roger Federer.
Becker, himself a six-time major champion, coaches Novak Djokovic.
In their playing days, Becker was 25-10 in matches against Edberg. But it was their three straight Wimbledon finals that stand out in their long rivalry.
Edberg took the first one in 1988, but Becker won a year later. In what turned out to be the decider at the All England Club, Edberg won again in 1990.
As coaches in Wimbledon finals, Becker is leading 1-0 after Djokovic beat Federer in five sets in last year's championship match.
