Roger Federer spoke about his wife Mirka’s role in his success in tennis and also off the court.
Mirka was world No. 76 in the early 2000s. Federer said: “If I speak of tennis, she had a deep impact on my character, maybe not on my game, but yes on myself as a professional because she was a professional tennis player before me, she was more experienced when I came on Tour, she knew the hard work, I was just learning.
Then she made me grow and mature in the first years. After I think the support I got from here, was always unbelievable support, she was always there to help me, she made my life easier, without caring if I would win or lose, she gave me big confidence.
As a player, it’s always good to have her because some players have a wife one year and then they switch her.
Anything can make you enjoy but it can make you distracted. My life is perfect the way it is.
I always loved having the same girlfriend, the same wife, handling the family and protecting them from the press, she has not been having an interview for 12-15 years, so people don’t know everything she did, an unbelievable amount of job for my parents, my life, for Tony [Godsick], my children.
