Two new tennis stars for Roger Federer
Roger Federer has announced that he and his wife Mirka have welcomed twin girls. The girls who were born in Switzerland are named Charlene Riva and Myla Rose. While the pregnancy was announced in March and the couple married in April, they did not reveal the news that they were expecting twins. For most of the sports world the announcement of TWO babies and not one comes as a complete surprise.
The babies were born on Thursday, July 23 and the new parents are thrilled. Roger Federer could not wait to announce it on his website and Facebook page. One fan on his site commented, “Wait 15 to 20 years. The Williams sisters will look like a joke compared to the Federer sisters.” Is that true? What do you think?
Federer met Mirka, who was born Miroslava Vavrinec in Slovakia, in 2000 when they were competing for Switzerland in the Sydney Olympics. Mirka emigrated with her family to Switzerland as a child which explains why the baby girls were born there. Roger Federer will return to tennis on August 10 in Montreal after a brief hiatus where he gets to know his knew daughters.
Congrats!
