Mirka Federer has been among the most recognizable people in tennis-not because she seeks publicity or headlines, but simply because she's always there, alongside Roger Federer.
While taking an early exit from her own competitive career, her impact on Federer's was silent yet deep. Personal strength, resilience and devotion to family mark her life story.
Born Miroslava Vavrincova in April 1978, Mirka grew up in a family that moved from Czechoslovakia to Switzerland when she was young. She gained Swiss citizenship later on and found her identity in a country that would soon become central to her life. Most fans know her as Roger Federer’s partner, she carved her own path before her role changed more toward family and support.
Tennis shaped Mirka's early year and she trained intensively, climbed the rankings, and got a place inside the world's top 100 in singles. Her competitive spirit took her to major events, including the Hopman Cup and the Sydney Olympics in 2000.
However, a foot injury cut her career short in 2002. Instead of disappearing from the sport, she stayed close to it through her involvement in Roger's growing career.
Mirka's relationship with Roger Federer grew to be one of sports' most admired partnerships. As Roger evolved from a promising junior into a global icon, Mirka stood at his side through victories and setbacks. Their public appearances always conveyed a sense of calm connection and shared purpose.
The two met at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, competing for Switzerland. From friendship, it evolved into something more meaningful and they shared their first kiss on the last night of the Games.
For years, they kept their relationship away from the limelight, though it was more open when competing together at the Hopman Cup. As Roger's career picked up speed, their love started to blossom.
Mirka and Roger married in April 2009 in Basel, a small, quiet ceremony with close friends attending. The same year, 2009, they were blessed with twin daughters, Myla Rose and Charlene Riva.
Then in 2014, they became parents again to twin boys, Leo and Lenny. Mirka completely loves the role of a mother and is very often seen courtside with the kids, supporting Roger through innumerable tournaments.
Though her professional playing career was shorter, Mirka managed to build a life based on stability and shared success. Her estimated net worth is approximately 1.5 million dollars, influenced by her career, endorsements during her tennis years and long-term involvement in Roger's business affairs.
After Roger’s retirement in 2022, Mirka shifted more fully into family life. The couple now spends more time in Switzerland and travels only for selected events like the Laver Cup, Wimbledon and charity commitments.
Mirka is an active player in the Roger Federer Foundation, whose projects are oriented toward education programs in Africa and Switzerland. Her influence continues quietly to shape the future for this family long after Roger's final match.
