Roger Federer announced that his family will get larger on Christmas Eve, when he broke the news that Mirka is pregnant with the couple's third child.

On Friday he announced that his tennis family will also grow.

Federer has revealed plans to work with six-time Grand Slam champion Stefan Edberg for 10 weeks starting at the 2014 Australian Open. “I am happy to announce that beginning in Melbourne, Stefan Edberg will join Severin Lüthi on my coaching team,” Federer said on his official website. “Severin, who has been part of my team for the last 7 years, will do most of the weeks and Stefan has agreed to work with us for at least 10 weeks starting at the Australian Open in Melbourne. Stefan was my childhood hero, and I am really looking forward to spending time and learning from him.”

Lüthi added: "Roger will play a full schedule next year so we both wanted to make sure we had a solid team in place. I want to continue to improve and innovate Roger's game and I really look forward to be working with Stefan. Like Roger, I have a tremendous amount of respect for Stefan and I am sure he will bring a lot to our team as Roger continues to chase titles in 2014."

Federer, 32, will begin his season at the Brisbane International next week. He has also told the Swiss Newspaper Basler Zeitung that he will use a 98-inch Wilson Racquet at Brisbane.
