During his on-court speech the Swiss got the most teary-eyed when talking about Mirka, thanking her for her support throughout his career. Federer acknowledged that his wife could have asked him to stop playing many years ago, but she kept supporting his desire to prolong his career. "Everybody is here. The girls, the boys. My wife has been so supportive. She could have stopped me a long, long time ago, but she didn't. She kept me going and allowed me to play so its amazing, thank you," Federer said. Mirka herself was a professional tennis player earlier, and she even teamed up with Roger Federer during the 2002 Hopman Cup. However, a recurring injury cut short her tennis career later in 2002.

She really didn t enjoy watching me anymore - Roger Federer on his wife Mirka

Laver Cup 2022 - Day One Roger Federer also said that his injury-plagued last few seasons on the tour were harder for his wife Mirka than they were for him. The 41-year-old felt sorry for her during those moments, and admitted that Mirka was relieved that he decided to call it quits as he was struggling a lot with the knee injury. "The last few years were hard for me, but I think they were even harder for her. She really didn't enjoy watching me anymore, with all the injuries. I felt kind of sorry for her," the Swiss player said, according to a tweet by Simon Graf, sports editor of Swiss daily Tages-Anzeiger. "It's a great relief for her that it's over now," he added, according to an article in Tages-Anzeiger. The 20-time Grand Slam singles champion will not return to the tour, but he stated that he would play some exhibition matches from time to time. While he will also not play a match in any future edition of the Laver Cup, he confirmed his participation in the tournament next year and beyond in 'a different capacity.'
