It was surprising. It was so sudden. But not unexpected. After all, Federer and Mirka are going to have a child soon, and it was only natural for Roger to try and tighten up his relationship with Mirka. Federer may be struggling on court, but he is doing a decent job off court. He is making a lot of money, and he is going to be a dad soon. Let’s not forget that he is now a husband as well!
Earlier today, in my hometown, surrounded by a small group of close friends and family, Mirka and I got married
Federer’s marriage could be a good or bad thing for Roger. It’s what he makes of it. He can become motivated and step up for the sake of his new child to win a couple of more majors. Or he could lose his motivation on court and focus on his kid. Agassi was someone who relished being a dad and a tennis player at the same time. He became better even as he aged. With Roger, you never know. His game is so much based on his focus and concentration that anything that disrupts it could have negative affects.
I personally thought that Federer should’ve gotten married earlier in his life. After all, these two folks seem perfect for each other. Did he avoid marriage as he knew it could affect his game? Nobody can tell. One thing is for certain. This is a great day for the Federer family. As much as Fed has struggled this year, one has to assume life couldn’t be better for him and Mirka.
