Roger Federer and his wife, Mirka, scream couple goals every time they step out together. Whether it’s supporting his illustrious tennis career or navigating the ups and downs of being a 20-time Grand Slam champion, Mirka has always been by his side. Her steadfast support is evident in even the tiniest of situations; lately, she assisted a struggling Federer in signing signatures, as both of them attended a Coldplay concert together.

The 42-year-old tennis player had a great time on a night out at Rome’s Olympic Stadium only a few days ago. Federer was spotted enjoying the vibrant atmosphere with his wife, Mirka, and their four children: sons, Leo and Lenny, and daughters, Myla and Charlene.

Amidst the excitement on the same occasion, Roger Federer happily autographed a fan’s Wimbledon t-shirt when he saw it. Even though there was a video of Federer signing the t-shirt that went viral, Mirka was the real star of the show. Once again demonstrating her supportive position and their seamless coordination, she was spotted helping her husband and making sure the autograph was delivered precisely.

The former world number one and his wife Mirka, were seen dancing together, engrossed in the moment, while Coldplay played “Fix You.” They were followed by the same contagious excitement for Chris Martin’s new song, “Feels Like I’m Falling in Love.”

Surprisingly, Martin saw Federer and Mirka’s identical white clothes even in the midst of the crowd, and during the concert, he offered a special tribute to the tennis superstar. Martin stated while singing, “Roger, my beautiful brother, who is the greatest tennis player of all time. You were so good at sports, but who would have thought that you would show up looking so beautiful and fine?”

So, while enjoying his retirement, the 42-year-old former player is often spotted traveling to places like Vietnam or Thailand or going to live concerts with his spouse. But, Federer also talked about how his wife helped him get through some of the most difficult times in his career, as she is the one who brought discipline into his life.

Earlier this year, Roger Federer emphasized the importance of his wife, Mirka, in his tennis career. In an interview with El País, the 20-time Grand Slam champion praised her for imparting discipline to him, which he felt was missing.

He stated, “She has helped me a lot during difficult times, and she has played a very important role in keeping me motivated. She also taught me what discipline is, because she is incredibly disciplined; I was more the player, the artist, if you will, and I needed guidance in that aspect.”
