After his shock exit from Wimbledon, Roger Federer clearly needed something to cheer himself up.
So it’s no wonder the 28-year-old sportsman decided to go on a luxury yacht holiday in France with wife Mirka Vavrinec and their twin girls Charlene and Myla.
Federer looked happy and relaxed as he spent time with his family on board the vessel Jems, as well as making the most of the European sunshine by swimning in the warm sea.

Speaking about the twins, he said recently: ‘We were a bit surprised when we learned that Mirka was going to have twins, and we were maybe a touch worried that it would be really difficult and stressful, but so far it’s been really easy.
‘I think we’ve had the right approach. Mirka is very laid-back and I’m also a calm person, so I think all of that enabled us to handle the situation.’
