According to Yahoo! Sport Australia, Roger Federer opened up about his wife and all the sacrifices she has made, not just for his family, but for him to continue winning Grand Slam titles. For those unfamiliar with Mirka Federer, the Swiss native is actually a former professional tennis player. The couple met at the 2000 Olympics when she was still playing, but eventually withdrew in 2002 due to a foot injury, which also allowed her to put all her energy behind her husband. The couple finally tied the knot in 2009 and now have two sets of twins. If you are a fan of professional tennis, you have most likely seen the adorable family in the stands, cheering on Roger.
Roger revealed to The Times UK in an interview about his wife, “She has been wonderful in terms of support.” He added: “It was surprising how easily he walked away from tennis and retired, never tried to come back.” He then continued to joke, saying that his wife once told him, “I would rather have helped you have an amazing career (than) that I have some kind of career and we won’t see each other and grow. unhappy and maybe we’ll break up because we won’t see each other enough.
He ended the interview by saying, “We love our time together and that is still the case.”
