Roger Federer’s Wife Mirka’s Selfless Act Right After Pregnancy in 2009 Speaks Volumes of Her Sacrifices – ‘She’s a Rock..’

Throughout his years as a professional tennis player and beyond, there’s one person who has always been by Roger Federer‘s side through all the thick and thin of his life, his wife, Mirka Federer. From giving up on her tennis career to supporting the Swiss legend, she did everything she could in her power to make sure that her husband reached the top. To top things up, Roger Federer never shied away from recognizing the immense efforts that his wife made.

Traveling back in time, Fed reflected on one of the most crucial times of his career, a time when he was juggling between his professional tennis career and the joy of being a new father. Highlighting the things that the couple went through, the Swiss great talked about how, despite giving birth to twins, Mirka managed to stay at the top. He also reflected on why he always calls her his ‘rock‘.

In 2009, the Federer family stepped on a significant journey, where professional tennis got merged with parenthood as well. As an American journalist familiar with the challenges of long-haul travel with young children, Christopher Clarey observed the Federers’ unique approach to their first family outing.

Stepping aside from the trend of economy-class discomfort, the Federers opted for a private jet to Montreal. The couple was helped by a dedicated nurse. The decision to include a nurse was to make sure that the newborns did not feel any kind of discomfort. However, despite this, Roger Federer highlighted Mirka’s hands-on approach while describing Mirka’s selfless approach to handling late-night feedings and diaper changes. This made her an inspiration to Federer.
