Roger Federer is truly ‘husband-goals’ for many in the tennis fraternity. After letting his fans know that “she had a big part to play in [the win]”, Federer reveals another contribution of his wife Mirka Federer to his career. As the Swiss maestro gears up to present a big surprise following his retirement, Mirka Federer’s surprising contribution leaves the legend rather emotional.

The official X (formerly Twitter) of Deadline Hollywood recently shared a clip of Roger Federer speaking about his upcoming Amazon documentary Federer: Twelve Final Days. While this legend spoke about showing his retirement journey from its announcement to the final celebration, he revealed a surprising gesture from his wife. Yes, while this show marks Federer’s debut documentary, it is also his wife Mirka Federer’s debut media appearance for an exclusive interview.

Although this tennis power couple is no less than an inspiration to many, Mirka has never stood beside Federer while he was being interviewed or had a conversation with the press in her husband’s more than a decade-long professional career. “My wife hadn’t spoken to the media in fifteen years, so she also said that it is okay to give an interview. So I think that was also very emotional, very nice from her and that’s a little bit of what you can expect if you watch it “- said the Swiss former tennis legend.

Directed by Asif Kapadia and Joe Sabia, Federer’s documentary will offer his fans a journey to his final days on the court during the Laver Cup tour. Along with fans, the moment was very emotional for Federer’s wife, who left her tennis passion to support her husband and family. When Amazon Prime released the documentary’s trailer, fans could spot Mirka Federer commenting with flooded emotions, “It’s been an incredible journey”.

Federer always admired his wife’s support in his career. “She’s been there when I had no titles and she’s still here 89 titles later, so she had a big part to play in [the win],” said the Swiss legend after winning the Australian Open tour in 2017.

Roger Federer’s happiness about Mirka contributing to his documentary represents the love between this power couple. Despite being a prominent tennis legend, Federer’s respect for his wife shows his humble and gentlemanly side of the personality. Nevertheless, delighted Federer is all set to take his fans on a tour of his much-awaited behind-the-scenes journey of retirement.

Roger Federer’s upcoming documentary is a “hardcore and interesting” “Snapshot” of his life

Known to keep his life private, Federer’s news about his documentary baffled the fans. However, the world’s former number one revealed that for this film, the crew received “unprecedented access” to his house. Along with capturing this legendary Grand Slam champion’s intimate retirement moments, this documentary will feature behind-the-scenes from Federer’s Laver Cup tour with exclusive interviews from his competitors like Murray, Nadal, and Djokovic.

“It’s a snapshot of my life over those 12 days, which is pretty hardcore and interesting,” Federer said back when the plan of the docuseries was first announced. He also said, “I never let anyone come into my house… It’s a very personal film.”

“It’s looking deep into another layer of the tennis tour—how the camaraderie is a good one on the tour, Yes, here are rivalries, but off the court there are friendships and respect.” he said.

Roger Federer’s delight about having Mirka on board for his upcoming docuseries is a happy sight to behold. As this movie is scheduled to air in 240 countries worldwide, fans from anywhere can relieve their old days of watching Roger Federer on the court.
