Roger Federer is one of the sport's most famous players, but his wife Mirka used to be a top 100 player. Unfortunately, a foot injury forced her to retire in 2002, cutting short a promising career.

They tied the knot in 2009, welcoming their first set of twin daughters the same year. In 2014, they welcomed a second set, this time two boys. Mirka has been a strong support to the player, often seen cheering him on or accompanying the now-retired tennis star on the road.
