as himself Roger Federer retired from tennis at the Laver Cup in September 2022, everyone was moved and gathered around the great champion, but above all one person: his wife Mirka. Mirka has supported Roger in all his struggles and has always supported her man, even in the worst moments, like injuries and the most disappointing defeats.
Even when many thought Roger’s career was over, she always stood by his side to support the tennis legend. And she was right. Mirka in particular believed in Roger’s rebirth after the 2016 injury that happened at the 2017 Australian Open.
In the past few days they have been played on US hard courts at Indian Wells and the Miami Open. And if we are talking about the relationship between Federer and his wife Mirkawe should remember an anecdote related to Roger’s bygone days at the two ATP Masters 1000 a few years ago.

“Every woman is important,” Roger Federer praised his wife Mirka
When a reporter once asked how Federer felt about Mirka’s presence on the tour after Pete Sampras complimented his wife, the Swiss maestro praised what his wife had done throughout his career.
Federer has always credited his wife for supporting him and investing everything she had in her family. Roger had secured a second-round win at the 2014 Indian Wells Masters.
During the post-game briefing, a reporter said that Pete Sampras credited his wife for his success. The reporter asked Federer a similar question, asking about Mirka’s role in her life. The Swiss maestro said: “I think every woman is important.
Mine is no different. But we have kids and she’s seen 900 games I think. She has no problem with losing one every now and then and not coming to training anymore. She has always thought of my best interest in me and my career and never took me away from tennis.
It wouldn’t have been easy for her to say: “Look, can’t we change that or do it differently? i hear stories However, the only thing she wanted for Mirka was for her to spend as much time as possible with the family.”
