Tennis icon Stefan Edberg is Mahindra Scorpio TOISA 2018 mentor

We are proud to have Swedish tennis legend Stefan Edberg as TOISA mentor. He won 41 titles in a professional career that ran from 1983 to 1996, as well as an Olympic bronze. Widely regarded as one of the most skilful of volleyers, Edberg carved a niche for himself in the pantheon of tennis greats with a mastery of the serve-and-volley rarely seen in the sport’s rich history which he used to great effect in winning six major singles titles: two Australian Opens (1985, 1987), two Wimbledons (1988, 1990) and two US Opens (1991, 1992). Here's more on Edberg
