Roger Federer won an amazing match against John Millman in the AO 3rd round after he was 4-8 down in the final tiebreak of the 5th set to give a rather hard time to his fans and his dear wife Mirka. Eventually, the Swiss legend pulled a Houdini to conquer an impossible match and the cameramen had “fun” zooming on Mirka suffering while she was backing his husband.
Later on, the camera caught Mirka hugging and kissing Roger as soon as he came back from the court and that was lovely. Here some videos and pictures of the special moment.
Roger Federer will square off with Marton Fucsovics in the 4th round for the 3rd time of their career. They are scheduled to play on Sunday at 9 pm (est) on the Rod Laver Arena.
