Roger Federer: ‘Me and Mirka love each other so much. She made me calmer’

Roger Federer was asked how much his wife Mirka helped him throughout his career so far in terms of percentage. The Swiss said: “I do not exactly know, but a lot. She will say, Not a lot, maybe by one percent. But she gave me a lot of strength, she made me calmer.

She was always there for me. She gets along well also with my parents, me with her parents. Life is simple with Mirka. We love each other a lot. After all those years, with four children, it’s still all good. I was a bit more than 18 years old when we met each other for the first time.

She was around 20 years old. She thought, But it’s not possible, it will not work. I was like, I do not know either. Either we try or we don’t. Luckily we fought for it, and it was nice.” On his social media channels, Federer said: “It’s a nice way to enjoy yourself a bit with people, even for myself.

I was not too active lately. I made some posts on Instagram, Twitter. I was not there since Wimbledon. Now I am inspired. I came back and if I use, there should be some enjoyment too. It’s true that I am everywhere but you should not be too active on social media. We should be authentic. What you see on social media is not necessarily the reality.”
