Basel, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – What a year for the Roger Federer family, first the long-awaited big win at Wimbledon for the Swiss tennis champion and now future doubles champions warming up, with the arrival of twin daughters! Mirka Federer gave birth to the girls Thursday: Charlene Riva and Myla Rose are fine, the father says on his web site (so far, only in German).
The couple met in 2000 when both played at the Sydney Olympics. Mirka, who emigrated to Switzerland as a young girl, is 31 and Roger is 27.
