Mirka decided to take on a less high profile role after giving birth to the couples two sets of twins.

The Federer couple have twin girls Charlene and Myla – born in 2009 – and twin boys Lenny and Leo, who arrived in 2014.

Speaking shortly after the birth of his sons, Roger said Mirka is the reason that the family are able to travel the world.

He said: My wife does a lot of work, as much as she can. And I try to help as much as I can.

We have the grandparents as well and all my team members, they sometimes just tag along.

“Clearly we also need some help on the road, so Mirka can have an opportunity sometimes to sleep in a little bit, or come to watch one of my matches.

You need to be well organised, but by now we know how it works.
