2024 - Roger Federer: who is his cold and boring wife Mirka?

She has shared Roger Federer’s life for twenty years. Always present, always discreet. Mirka Federer put her professional career aside to become an unwavering support for her husband.

Everyone knows her face, she is invariably present in the stands to support her champion husband, but Mirka (short for Miroslava) Federer remains very discreet. Invisible on social networks, away from the media, this mother of 4 children has dedicated her life to Roger Federer, who has just announced his retirement from sport on September 15.

He is also the first to pay homage to him. In an interview at Guardian in 2016, he confessed: “when I met her, I had zero titles, I now have 88“. He even added a few more to the counter. Four years later, he once again confided in the Times on the privileged relationship they have built: “She was the one who supported me the most. She walked away from tennis and retired with incredible ease, never really trying to make a comeback“, and add: “she explained to me that she would rather help me have an extraordinary career, that if both of us had a career, we wouldn’t see each other and we would be unhappy, we could even break up because we didn’t see each other enough.“

Discreet, she knows how to surround herself

It was Mirka Federer who taught discipline to Roger, she who did not count her hours on the courts when she was playing on the professional circuit. Hence, no doubt, her reputation as a cold and boring woman. However, under her air of a discreet woman, Mirka is always well surrounded. She rubs shoulders with Anna Wintour, Bradley Cooper, David Beckham and was a guest at Pippa Middleton and James Mathews’ wedding in May 2018.”Mirka knows how to keep in touch with everyone“, entrusted Roger Federer to the New York Times, “she maintains our friendships perfectly.“And she has her character. We remember this spade sent to Stanislas Wawrinka during the semi-final of the London Masters in 2014. While the player was complaining about the noise of the Federer clan in the stands, she had it Called a whiner, ready to defend her clan like a lioness.

Roger Federer will therefore soon put away the rackets. For sure, Mirka will know how to support him in this new stage of his life.
