Will Mr and Miss Federer have to go separate ways?

Federer and Mirka have been a couple for almost nine years now. For the past seven she almost never left his side. And now since Easter they are married.

But not is seems as if they will have to separate from each other. At least for some time. Why? Because two months before a child’s birth pregnant women should not fly anymore. Will Federer therefore hit the road on his own in the near future? Federer:” We will see how Mirka is doing. Luckily the upcoming tournaments are all not too far away. I am happy I don’t have to go all the way down to Australia or the States… All the flights are pretty short at the moment. If she feels okay and the doctors tell her she can take the plane then she will come with me. Otherwise she will just stay at home and rest.”

According to Federer the baby should be born nefore August 10th, which is when the Masters-1000-Series event in Montreal is taking palce, a tournament that Federer usually plays. Federer made it clear though, he does not want to miss any tournament!

And what about after the birth? Will they travel together? “We think so,” reckons Federer,”but if the child or Mirka don’t feel well then they will just stay at home. So far she still wants to travel a lot. But we will decide according to the child and do everything to keep it healthy and raise it in a healthy environment.
