Tennis icon Roger Federer shared a rare family photo featuring his wife Mirka and their four children, sparking viral reactions from fans online. The tennis community marveled at the striking resemblance between the parents and the kids, with many joking that Roger and Mirka’s genetics have been evenly divided among the children.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion was recently inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame, where his wife delivered a heartfelt speech to celebrate Federer’s legacy. After the ceremony, the former world No. 1 captured a sweet family moment that has now been immortalized on Instagram.
In one photo, Federer stands proudly at the center, holding the golden Hall of Fame trophy, while his wife, Mirka, stands beside him with their two sets of identical twins.
Fans reacted to the photo with absolute amazement.
One user said:
“The girls are tall. I think Mirka is like 5’9″ (or tall at least, I noticed when she was hugging everyone on the team at LC 2022 she didn’t look short) so it’s not a huge surprise but it’s mad given I remember them being born. Roger and Mirka’s genes really took one each for the boys, huh?”
