PARIS – Men’s world number two Roger Federer on Saturday married his fiancee Mirka Vavrinec (both pictured here) in his home town of Basel, Switzerland, he announced on his website.
Last month, Federer revealed on www.rogerfederer.com that Vavrinec, a former top 100 player whom he met at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, was expecting the couple’s first child later this year.
‘Earlier today … surrounded by a small group of close friends and family, Mirka and I got married,’ Federer said on his official website (www.rogerfederer.com) at the weekend.
‘It was a beautiful spring day and an incredibly joyous occasion.’
Federer will take part after all in the opening clay court tournament of the season this week – the Monte Carlo Masters.
He originally planned to play less in clay court competition in 2009 than in past years even though the French Open remains the only Grand Slam he has yet to win.
