Roger Federer Turns Teary Eyed Over Wife Mirka Breaking 15-Year Long Silence for His Upcoming Documentary
Roger Federer is truly ‘husband-goals’ for many in the tennis fraternity. After letting his fans know that “she had a big part to play in [the win]”, Federer reveals another contribution of his wife Mirka to his career. As the Swiss maestro gears up to present a big surprise following his retirement, Mirka Federer’s surprising contribution leaves the legend rather emotional.
The official X (formerly Twitter) of Deadline Hollywood recently shared a clip of Roger Federer speaking about his upcoming Amazon documentary Federer: Twelve Final Days. While this legend spoke about showing his retirement journey from its announcement to the final celebration, he surprised all by revealing his wife’s contribution to the docuseries. Yes, while this show marks Federer’s debut documentary, it is also his wife Mirka Federer’s debut media appearance for an exclusive interview.
Although this tennis power couple is no less than an inspiration to many, Mirka has never stood beside Federer while he was being interviewed or had a conversation with the press in her husband’s more than a decade-long professional career. “My wife hadn’t spoken to the media in fifteen years, so she also said that it is okay to give an interview. So I think that was also very emotional, very nice from her and that’s a little bit of what you can expect if you watch it “- said the Swiss former tennis legend.
Directed by Asif Kapadia and Joe Sabia, Federer’s documentary will offer his fans a journey to his final days on the court during the Laver Cup tour. Along with fans, the moment was very emotional for Federer’s wife Mirka, who left her tennis passion to support her husband and family. When Amazon Prime released the documentary’s trailer, fans could spot Mirka commenting with flooded emotions, “It’s been an incredible journey”.
Federer always admired his wife’s support in his career. “She’s been there when I had no titles and she’s still here 89 titles later, so she had a big part to play in [the win],” said the Swiss legend after winning the Australian Open tour in 2017
Roger Federer’s happiness about Mirka contributing to his documentary represents the love between this power couple. Despite being a prominent tennis legend, Federer’s respect for his wife shows his humble and gentlemanly side of the personality. Nevertheless, delighted Federer is all set to take his fans on a tour of his much-awaited behind-the-scenes journey of retirement.
