OFF COURT - BONNE NOUVELLE !

Chers fans,
Je suis arrivé à Indian Wells il y a quelques jours et j’ai envie de retourner sur le court. Mon dos va mieux et je suis prêt à me lancer dans la compétition.
D’autre part, j’ai une importante nouvelle à vous faire partager : Mirka et moi sommes excités de vous annoncer que nous allons devenir parents cet été ! Mirka est enceinte et nous sommes heureux de fonder une famille ensemble. Un rêve se réalise pour nous. Nous adorons les enfants et nous sommes impatients d’être parents pour la première fois. Mirka est en forme et tout se passe bien.
Je vous donnerai des nouvelles bientôt. Merci à tous pour votre soutien permanent !

Roger Federer and his long-time girlfriend Mirka Vavrinec announced on Thursday that they are expecting their first child this summer.

"I have some really awesome news to share with all of you," the 27-year-old Swiss told his official website. "Mirka and I are excited to let you know that we will be parents this summer! Mirka is pregnant and we are so happy to be starting a family."

Federer, currently No. 2 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings, is competing at an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tennis tournament in Indian Wells, California.

"This is a dream come true for us," said the 13-time Grand Slam champion. "We love children and we are looking forward to being parents for the first time. Mirka is feeling great and everything is going well."

The couple met when they were both competitors at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. Vavrinec reached a career-high No. 76 in the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Rankings (Sept. 10, 2001).

破例转载了！So happy for Roger & Mirka. Maybe it’s the best way the story goes. It is really really hard to admit that he is not at his prime any more, even harder to accept his defeats, and much much heartbreaking to see him crying sadly there in Melbourne… He ought to enjoy life anyway. Félicitations Roger!
