As reported by Roger Federer, he recently sent his twin boys to the Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy and his twin daughters to the John McEnroe Tennis Academy. The 42-year-old tennis player has four children with his wife Mirka after becoming parents for the first time in 2009 with the birth of twin girls named Charlene Riva and Myla Rose.
Federer and Mirka became parents once again five years later with the birth of twins Leo and Lenny.
Recently, Federer disclosed in an interview about her children and said: “All four kids love it. The girls didn’t love it in the beginning but as they get better, they’re enjoying it and playing points now. They were up at John McEnroe Academy in East Hampton, and the boys were in Mallorca at the Rafael Nadal camp for a couple of days.”
Federer has been formally retired from professional tennis since September of last year. Federer is currently leading a more peaceful life and spending his free time teaching his children tennis.
He discussed it during a conversation: “When I have time, and I try to make the time, I go on the court with them and try to teach them (kids) a little bit.
It’s obviously an interesting dynamic because I’m the dad and not a former player. It is what it is.”Rafael Nadal in 2023
