The Grand Slam winner owes it all to his wife. Roger Federer pays tribute to wife Mirka after her immense support.

This weekend, the Swiss won his 18^th major title and his wife was there to support him.

He thanks her being right by his side even when he didn’t have this success and he knows she will be there for him many years to come.

“She had a big part to play in it – she knows it, I know it, everybody knows it,” says Federer.

The two got married in 2009. They have two daughters and two sons.

Mirka was always at his games and she always made sure that she supports him. After the Australian Open finale, the two hugged each other. She was the first one Roger rushed towards to.

Federer had a tough time these months, after he had to take a break for knee injury. The game with Rafael Nadal was a very tough one.

His longtime rival changed his tactics, thing which surprised him. Also, he is still recovering from the injury. His shape isn’t as good as it used to be. In spite of all these, he managed to win.

The last time he won a Grand Slam was in 2012 at Wimbledon.

Federer praised his wife on Monday. He also added that even though she is a mom, she always makes time to be by his side. He also said that the victory means much more because he can share it with his family.

Mirka will probably accompany him to the rest of the big games of the year, where Federer will make a proper come-back.
