Roger Federer won 20 Grand Slam titles throughout his career and finished in 2022 as a tennis legend, considered by some to be the GOAT ahead of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. But one person who was by his side at all times was his wife Mirka.
Paul Annacone, who had previously worked with the great Swiss ace, has stated that his wife does not receive enough recognition for her part in Roger Federer’s illustrious career, especially considering that she was present from the beginning and throughout his fame. and rise as a global sports superstar.

“He had a great team around him. Tony [Godsick] it was amazing. Mirka is not recognized enough. Is incredible. She really is someone who understood tennis and understands her husband so well. Not only with tennis, but also with what he became as an icon. It’s incredible that she achieved all that. Without Severin Luthi and Pierre [Paganini], it would have been difficult. I was just lucky. I was just a grain of salt in that whole big shaker of ingredients,” Annacone said on the Rock n Roll Tennis Podcast.
Mirka recalled in 2004 how Federer gave her what she couldn’t have on the tennis court and rekindled her love for tennis through his victories: “When Roger wins, it’s like I win too. I feel it so intensely and I know what it means. He shares everything with me. In a way, Roger gives me back my tennis life. I enjoy my return to the circuit. And now everything is even more intense than when I played, since he is number one “, he told Tages-Anzeiger.
