Happy Birthday Roger!

Tennis champ Roger Federer is celebrating his 29th birthday today!

Fun fact about Roger: He was born in Binningen near Basel in Switzerland. He holds both Swiss and South African citizenship as his father is Swiss and his mother South African.

Roger is married to former Women’s Tennis Association player Mirka Vavrinec. The couple met in 2000 at the Sydney Olympics. Vavrinec retired in 2002 due to a foot injury and has been handling Roger’s public relations ever since. They were married in Basel on 11 April 2009, surrounded by a small group of close friends and family at Wenkenhof Villa. On 23 July 2009, Mirka gave birth to twin girls, Myla Rose and Charlene Riva.
