When Roger Federer retired from tennis, in September 2022 at the Laver Cup, everyone was moved and rallied around the great champion, but one person in particular most of all: his wife Mirka.

Mirka has supported Roger in all his battles, always supporting her husband, even in the worst moments, such as injuries and the most disappointing defeats. Even when many thought Roger's career was over, she always stood by him in supporting the tennis legend. And she was right. Mirka most of all, after the 2016 injury, believed in Roger's rebirth, which took place at the 2017 Australian Open.

In the past days they were played the Indian Wells and the Miami Opem, on the US hard-courts. And speaking of the relationship between Federer and his wife Mirka, we should remember an anecdote related to Roger's past days, a few years ago, in the two ATP Masters 1000. It was Indian Wells 2014.

"Every wife is important," when Roger Federer praised his wife Mirka

When a reporter once asked how Federer felt about Mirka's presence on the tour after Pete Sampras complimented his wife, the Swiss Maestro praised what his wife do during his whole career. Federer has always credited his wife for supporting him and investing everything she had into her family.

Roger had secured a second-round victory at the 2014 Indian Wells Masters. During the post-match briefing, a reporter said Pete Sampras credited his wife for the success of he.

Asking Federer a similar question, the reporter asked about Mirka's role in her life. To this, the Swiss Maestro said: "I think every wife is important. Mine is no different. But we have kids and she's seen 900 games, I guess. She's okay with losing one once in a while and not coming to practice anymore.

She always has thought out in my best interest for me and my career and never took me away from tennis. It would have been easy for her to say, 'Look, can't we change this or do it differently? I hear stories. However, the only thing she Mirka wanted was for her to spend as much time with family as possible."
