Mirka and Roger Federer had twins shortly after, daughters Myla and Charlene.

Five years later, they welcomed sons Lenny and Leo – also twins. The ‘twin thing’ delighted the tennis community. Fans joked that Federer’s kids could one day go on to win their own doubles championships.

His older sister Diana is also the mother of twins, albeit fraternal. Federer traced this back to his maternal grandmother, who was also a twin.
