Although tennis legend Roger Federer announced his retirement in 2022, his devoted followers are still curious about him. Diana Federer, Roger Federer’s sister, will be discussed in this article. Diana Federer, Roger Federer’s sister, is a proud mother of twins and a Registered Nurse by profession.
Roger Federer, a former Swiss professional tennis player, was born on August 8, 1981. Federer was the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) year-end No. 1 five times and held the top singles position in the world for 310 weeks. This includes a record 237 weeks in a row. With 103 singles championships, he has the second-most on the ATP Tour. Federer, like every other male Swiss citizen, had to do his necessary military duty in the Swiss Armed Forces.
However, he was pronounced “unsuitable” in 2003 and so spared from military service. Later, he stated that his release was due to a prolonged back problem. Federer is not just interested in tennis, but also in other sports. He credits excellent hand-eye coordination to the multitude of sports he played as a child, including basketball and badminton. He also enjoys soccer and grew up supporting FC Basel and the Swiss national team. Federer admires soccer giants like Lionel Messi and Pele.
Diana Federer, Roger Federer’s Sister, Is the Mother of Twins
Roger has one sibling, Diana Federer, his elder sister born in 1979. The siblings are around two years apart in age. Diana, like Roger, is a humanitarian, which may explain why she chose to become a Registered Nurse in her own country. Diana is the delighted mother of two sets of non-identical twins, a boy and a girl. Her son’s name is Ramon Vincent, and her daughter’s name is Emilie Zoe. The siblings grew raised in adjacent Birsfelden, Riehen, and Münchenstein, all of which are close to the French and German borders.
This has aided them in mastering Swiss German, Standard German, English, and French. Their native tongue, however, remains Swiss German. Diana is a great pillar of support for Roger, and she often attends his games with her family whenever her tight work as a nurse allows her to.
Her Parent’s Ethnicity
Roger Federer and his sister were born to Robert Federer and Lynette Federer. Because of their parents, the siblings have a mixed background. Their father is Swiss-German and is from Berneck in the St. Gallen canton. Likewise, their mother is of African descent, hailing from Berneck in the canton of St. Gallen.
Roger Federer’s Wife Mirka Federer Is a Former Tennis Player as Well
The tennis pro is happily married to another tennis pro, Mirka Federer. Miroslava “Mirka” Federer, previously Miroslava Vavrinec, is a former professional tennis player from Switzerland. Miroslava was born in Bojnice (then Czechoslovakia) and moved to Switzerland when she was two years old. Mirka credits former professional tennis player Martina Navratilova for pushing her to begin her tennis career.
Her father brought her to Filderstadt, Germany, when she was nine years old, to watch tennis. Maritna advised that Mirka attempt tennis since she thought she looked athletic. Later, Navratilova mailed her a racquet and scheduled her first tennis lesson. Roger Federer and Mirka married on April 11, 2009, in front of just their closest friends and family members. The tennis pair is the parents of two sets of twins. Myla and Charlene are their first set of identical twin girls, while Leo and Lenny are their first set of fraternal twin boys.
