Federer and Mirka have two sets of twins.
A new visual of the great Roger Federer’s daughters has been making waves, as the duo was seen practicing at the Rafa Nadal Academy recently. The sight emerged when 43-year-old Federer visited Mallorca to meet his long-time friend and rival Rafael Nadal. The Swiss maestro seemingly spent some time on the courts, and also had some valuable interactions during his visit.
Federer’s daughters, Charlene Riva and Myla Rose, were born in 2009 – the same year when he decided to marry Mirka. Having first met his eventual wife at the Olympic Games in 2000 when they were both representing Switzerland, they went on to welcome two sets of twins in their life. While the 20-time Grand Slam champion admitted that his son Leo is “getting serious about tennis,” it seems like his daughters have also taken a liking to the racquet and ball.

In a recent social media post, Charlene Riva and Myla Rose were seen posing for an on-court photograph in their tennis attire. They will turn 16 on July 23, marking another celebration for the Federer family. The images emerged merely days after their father reunited with legendary Spanish southpaw Rafael Nadal. Between them, the pair shared 42 Grand Slams and 195 titles.
“This is the greatest day of our lives,” said Federer in a statement after the couple welcomed Charlene Riva and Myla Rose into the world on July 23rd, 2009. They have been seen at multiple tournaments, supporting their father. “It’s been a lot of fun being a father and spending time with them,” revealed the former World No. 1 after their birth. “I’m hands-on as much as I can because every day is something new and something different. I don’t want to miss anything.”

Five years later, Mirka and Roger had another set of twins – Leo and Lenny Federer. Born on May 6th, 2014, the boys have received multiple mentions from their iconic father in interviews. “When the boys were born, I mean, that rocked the boat,” Federer told People Magazine in 2022. “Going on the road with four kids every single week was hard, to say the least. And from being maybe the dominator, I became the challenger. I liked that role as well – I actually really stayed hungry throughout.
