Mirka and Roger Federer’s $92 Million Dream Project Encounters a Serious Dilemma

Tennis fans are quite happy after Roger Federer announced that he’ll play at the French Open 2021. They were eagerly waiting to watch him play at a Grand Slam, and they’ll be able to witness the same soon. However, even before that, he’ll also be exhibiting his skills at the ATP 250 Geneva 2021.

Even though Roger Federer is returning to the court again, everything is not well for him. He and his wife Mirka Federer received an enormous shock recently, as there are some obstacles in the construction of their new home.

The couple is planning to build a house in Rapperswil-Jona, a municipality in the Wahlkreis of See-Gaster in Switzerland. It will be on the shores of Lake Zurich and will cost around $92 million in its complete construction. However, things are not going as per their plan at the moment.

Roger and Mirka received a number of setbacks that might delay the construction or can even permanently stop it. They were hoping that the house would be completed by the end of 2021. However, that doesn’t look a certainty any longer.

What’s causing the trouble to the future house of Mirka and Roger Federer?

As per reports, authorities have found out contaminated land near the construction site, which is not ideal for sustaining the house. Apart from it, the area had ‘scrap and rubble’ throughout which caused the suspension of the building application.

Besides this, many environmental clubs and organizations have raised their concerns over the construction of the house at the lakeshore. Water protection organization Aqua Viva is leading the campaign, arguing that the construction might contaminate the lake.

Under these circumstances, it’ll be tough for the Federers to build their home. However, there is no legal action against the construction of the house as of now.

As far as tennis is concerned, Roger Federer will soon play at the Geneva Open 2021. After that, he’ll head to Paris, where he’ll be eyeing his second French Open title. Will Federer be able to win his 21st Grand Slam title in Paris this year?
