Many people may not realise that Mirka used to be a decent tennis player herself. The Slovak-born Swiss tennis player has reached a career-high of no. 76 in the world.

Both Federer and Mirka met during the 2000 Sydney Olympics and the rest, as they say, is history. They married in 2009 and have four kids (2 sets of twins!) Myla and Charlene and Leo and Lenny.

Flavia Pennetta & Fabio Fognini
There is a lot of chemistry in this Italian couple who was married back in June 2016. A few months later, just before Christmas, the beautiful pair announced that that they were expecting their first child, Federico.

Pennetta called it quits after winning her maiden Grand Slam singles title at the 2015 US Open. During her playing days, she reached a career-high ranking of no.1 in doubles and no.6 in singles, respectively.

Meanwhile, clay-court specialist Fognini remains as active on the tour.

Roger Federer family photo; Charlene Riva & Myla Rose unveiled!

Roger Federer and Mirka unveiled their twin girls, Charlene Riva and Myla Rose for the first time!

In his Facebook page, Federer credited the heartwarming photo to his father, Robert.

"He thinks he's becoming a professional photographer."

"It was very funny as both girls had the hiccups while we were trying to take a decent picture," the proud father described his twins.

While we still couldn't tell who is who, I think Charlene and Myla could grow up to become two very different personalities.

Swiss tennis has bright future; Stanislas Wawrinka's girlfriend Ilham Vuilloud is pregnant!

After a series of announcement made by Roger Federer, from Mirka's shocking pregnancy to their secret marriage and finally to the birth of their twins, it seems like it's deja vu all over again.

Swiss no.2 Stanislas Wawrinka has announced in his official website that his girlfriend Ilham Vuilloud and him are expecting a child next February.

The 3-month old baby is expected to be born in February, just like the mother. Vuilloud who is 10 years older than Wawrinka was born on February 24, 1974.

The parents to be did not mention when they are planning to tie the knot.

We believe it's going to be a secret wedding for friend and family.

To those who think our Chinese source unreliable, shame on you!

The private clinic called Klinik Bethanien where Mirka gave birth to a set of twin girls has been revealed... well, sort of...

I just want to reassure some readers again that at HCFoo's Tennis Blog, we only publish news which we believe are true.

Hence our sources including those from Chinese websites are reliable ones.

Glitz and glamour at the Wimbledon Champions Party 2009

Here's an inside look at the Wimbledon Winners Party held at Hotel Intercontinental, London yesterday.

Those who attended the function include Sir Cliff Richard and Hall of Famers like Rod Laver and Virginia Wade.

Amazingly, Mirka's water did not break during the nerve-wreaking final on Sunday. She looked radiant and healthy at the party beside her 15-Grand Slam hubby.

I totally love the stage - the shimmery blue and silver backdrop created a dramatic effect when champions Roger Federer and Serena Williams walked out with their precious trophies.

WAGs on Wimbledon Day 5

Remember this interview question?

Q. We notice today after many years Mirka wasn't in your box. Should we wait for some special announcement to be made sooner than expected, or not?

ROGER FEDERER: No, no, not really. She's just not feeling, you know, a hundred percent. She only felt 95%, so we decided it's better if she takes it easy instead of sitting in the sun maybe, feeling worse the next day.

It's important for her to rest. She's already feeling better, which is good.

Apparently Mirka is still hanging around at Federer's box.

So, no special announcement from Federer yet as Mirka was seen at her husband's match against Philipp Kohlschreiber yesterday.

Federer dropped the third set but went on to win 6-3, 6-2, 6-7, 6-1.

Tommy Haas' actress girlfriend Sara Foster was also spotted at the Wimbledon.

The 90210 star showing off her Blackberry and pouty lips.

The match against Marin Cilic continued on the 6th day and Haas eventually won 7-5, 7-5, 1-6, 6-7, 10-8.

I think we'll be seeing a lot more of Foster.

Wimbledon Day Three: You've gotta love post-match interviews!

To tell you the truth, I don't feel the excitement of Wimbledon already after Roger Federer vs Rendy Lu Yen-hsun match.

But life goes on and I still have to do my 'job'.

There are a few things that keep me entertained though - reading post-match interviews.

Check out some of these Q&A... the media can be very annoying... and at times funny too.

Fernando Verdasco survived four gruelling sets to beat Kristof Vliegen 7-6(7-3), 6-7(3-7), 7-6(7-4), 6-4 to make the third round.

Q. Is the rumor true that after Laura Robson's loss in the first round that you telephoned her to console her about this loss?

VERDASCO: Who?

Q. Laura Robson.

VERDASCO: No. Who said that?

Q. Rumor. (Changing topic) Which part do you admire the most about Federer?

Roger Federer has a comfortable 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Guillermo Garcia-Lopez.

Q. We notice today after many years Mirka wasn't in your box. Should we wait for some special announcement to be made sooner than expected, or not?

FEDERER: No, no, not really. She's just not feeling, you know, a hundred percent. She only felt 95%, so we decided it's better if she takes it easy instead of sitting in the sun maybe, feeling worse the next day.

It's important for her to rest. She's already feeling better, which is good.

Q. Is it still 10 August, more or less, the date?

FEDERER: I never said it. I don't know who told you, but... you can speculate as much as you want.

Q. Mirka told me.

FEDERER: Mirka told you? I'm sure she did (smiling).

Q. Inside information.

FEDERER: She invited you, too, didn't she?

Gisela Dulko defeated Maria Sharapova 6-2, 3-6, 6-4.

Q. What is your football team in Argentina?

DULKO: Football? Boca and Tigre.

Q. Do you have a boyfriend?

DULKO: We talking about tennis here. Not personal, no. I'm not gonna talk about that.

Note: Obviously the person who asked this question didn't know that Dulko is dating Fernando Gonzalez.

Serena Williams spentless than an hour to get past Jarmila Groth to win 6-2, 6-1.

Q. Can you comment on Larry Scott. He's leaving at the end of the week. His tenure.

WILLIAMS: Ten years. Was it ten years already?

Q. His tenure.

WILLIAMS: Oh, tenure.

Serena is hilarious!

Sania Mirza’s singles campaign at Wimbledon ended with a 6-4, 6-4 to Sorana Cirstea.

Q: (Indiscernible - The journalist must be asking whether her fiance Sohrab Mirza is there in Wimbledon.)

MIRZA: No, he's not here.

Q. Do you call him before the match? Does he call you?

MIRZA: That's a bit personal.

There was this particular journalist who kept asking the same silly question about pollution in Beijing to the top players like Serena and Federer. She got this answer from Djokovic...

Novak Djokovic moved into round three with a 7-5, 6-1, 6-4 victory over Simon Greul.

Q. Let me ask you about last year's Olympic Games. You were playing there, but there had been discussions about air quality before the games. Were you actually worried going there playing? How did you feel when you were actually playing there?

DJOKOVIC: Well, I think it's passed a lot of time since then. I don't know why we should talk about it now. But anyway...
