Roger Federer’s ex-coach details why Swiss’ wife Mirka deserves more credit

What Mirka said about Federer in 2004?

When Federer and Mirka met and started dating in 2000, they were both pro tennis players. Two years later, Mirka retired while Federer went on to become a Grand Slam champion in 2003 and later become an absolute tennis legend.

“When Roger wins, it’s as if I were winning too. I feel it so intensely and I know what it means. He shares everything with me. On some level, Roger gives me back my tennis life. I enjoy being back on tour. And now everything is even more intense than in the time when I played myself, since he’s number one,” Mirka said about Federer in 2004.

After not playing much after the 2020 Australian Open due to knee issues, Federer officially ended his career after last year’s Laver Cup.
