Whether it is outclassing some great players or taking care of his off-court duties, Roger Federer has somehow managed to excel in every role during his illustrious journey. It was his wife, Mirka, who constantly supported and cheered him up irrespective of any situation. Even when she was pregnant, the 44-year-old convinced the Swiss tennis legend to not take any sort of break from Grand Slam events. Federer, on the other hand, was quite nervous at the thought of Mirka going into labor during his participation at Wimbledon.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion detailed his emotional status at that time in the book ‘The Master: The Brilliant Career of Roger Federer’, published in 2021. Let’s see what the retired tennis ace said about his wife’s persuasion to play during the dilemma in London.
