Although tennis legend Roger Federer has announced his retirement in 2022, his loyal followers are still interested in him. This article will be about Diana Federer, Roger Federer’s sister. Diana Federer, sister of Roger Federer, is the 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 world number one singles ranking for 310 weeks. That includes a record 237 consecutive weeks. With 103 individual championship titles, he is the second most on the ATP Tour. Federer, like any other male Swiss citizen, had to do his mandatory military service in the Swiss armed forces.
However, in 2003 he was declared “unfit” and thus spared military service. He later stated that his release was due to long-term back problems. Federer is not only interested in tennis, but also in other sports. He attributes his excellent hand-eye coordination to the many 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, sister of Roger Federer, is the mother of twins
Roger has one sibling, Diana Federer, his older sister born in 1979. The siblings are about two years apart in age. Diana, like Roger, is a humanitarian, which may explain why she chose to become a registered nurse in her home country. Diana is a 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 up in neighboring Birsfelden, Riehen and Münchenstein, all of which are close to the French and German borders.
This helped them master Swiss German, Standard German, English and French. However, their mother tongue remains Swiss German. Diana is a great support for Roger and often attends his games with her family whenever her busy work as a nurse allows.
Ethnicity of her parents
Roger Federer and his sister were born to parents Robert Federer and Lynette Federer. Because of their parents, the siblings have mixed origins. Their father is of Swiss-German origin from Berneck in the canton of St. Gallen. Likewise, their mother is of African origin, and comes from Berneck in the canton of St. Gallen.
Roger Federer’s wife Mirka Federer is also a former tennis player
This tennis professional is happily married to another tennis player, Mirka Federer. Miroslava “Mirka” Federer, formerly 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 with encouraging her to start her tennis career.
Her father brought her to Filderstadt, Germany when she was nine years old to watch tennis. Maritna advised Mirka to try playing tennis because she thought she looked athletic. Later, Navratilova mailed her a racket and scheduled her first tennis lesson. Roger Federer and Mirka got married on April 11, 2009, in front of only their closest friends and family members. This tennis couple are the parents of two sets of twins. Myla and Charlene are their first set of identical twins, while Leo and Lenny are their first set of fraternal twins.
