Tennis superstars often catch the hearts of millions with their dazzling and momentous on-court accomplishments. No one did this to such a flamboyant extent as the Swiss tennis GOAT, Roger Federer. Thus, a year ago, when the Swiss Maestro bid a tearful goodbye, the tennis world came to a standstill. However, for Federer and his doting wife, Mirka, their four lovely kids – two sets of twins, Myla and Charlene, and Leo and Lenny, have become their sole focus now. The Swiss Maestro is enjoying quality time with his loved ones, where even mundane chores have become exhilarating.

Despite his retirement, Federer hasn’t totally left the game that has characterized his life. He is still engaged with fans through social media. In his recent interview, Federer shared some interesting words about his post-retirement life.

In his interview with the Wall Street Journal, Roger Federer hilariously jested, “I’m basically a professional driver now….The logistics with the four is nuts.”
