Roger Federer's Girlfriend - Miroslava 'Mirka' Vavrinec
Roger Federer met his long-time girlfriend, Mirka Vavrinec, at Syndey 2000 Olympics, when they both were representing Switzerland. And ever since then, they are inseparable.Some interesting trivia:
- Mirka Vavrinec was born in Slovakia.
- She emigrated as a 2 years old.
- Mirka is three years older than Roger.
- Her highest WTA singles ranking is 76 (on Sep '01).
- Navratilova introduced Mirka to tennis when she was nine.
- Her parents own a Jewellery and live in Schaffhausen.
- Profiles for Mirka Vavrinec

Interesting News Burb:
In 1987, when Mirka was nine, her father took her to watch a tournament at Filderstadt in Germany. The event coincided with Navratilova's birthday, and Mirka's father, a huge fan, managed to hand her a present. He had his daughter by his side and Navratilova asked the youngster if she played tennis. No, she'd never tried it. Navratilova said she looked athletic and ought to give it a whirl.Source: Independent Article
There the exchange might have ended had it not been for Navratilova's immense generosity of spirit. When she discovered that the Vavrinecs - who originally came from Slovakia - lived in Zurich, she phoned a friend there and arranged Mirka's first tennis lesson. Later, she sent one of her rackets from America for Mirka to use. And her instincts proved remarkably astute. By 2000, Mirka was in the top 100 players in the world and in Switzerland's team for the Sydney Olympics. It was there that she met Federer.
A year later, Mirka was forced to retire because of a persistent foot injury, but Federer enjoys the story of her introduction to tennis. He likes the idea that it was Navratilova who, in a way, brought them together.

Roger & Mirka - may you be in love forever!
Its not a matter of being shallow, its just a matter of
good taste or not! Apparently roger has no good taste in women!
But he ROCKS ON COURT!!!
LUV!
luv ya'll!
urs from india.
Was reading the comments on you and your girlfriend....it's disappointing for people to be so judgemental and pass comments on Mirka without even knowing her...at the end of the day, it's your choice and that is important!... Good luck and may you continue to win many many more matches....Fan from Singapore
we can only make an opinion of something that we know to be certain! and i know for sure that Mirka is an awfully ugly women!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I hope Mirka had a nice birthday. best of luck
I totally agree with the comments of some of the fans----dump your fat and ugly girfriend, and be with me. I will look after you!!!
email me at sweet_girl_4life@yahoo.com good luck roger!!!
Sometimes she already takes her handbag up, ready to leave, when the game is just finished one second, and she is not even applauding...not even speaking about sending some love full glances to Roger..hahaha...and....What is she always doing with that phone and so focused on it?!
According to her dull icequeen appearance and lack of passion, it seems to me, she is more interested in doing the "Swiss banking after match" than anything else...
But, hey, feel free to disagree!
Maybe this combination off an awesome extraordinary passionate player and an calculated dull banking cow is the secret behind success?
Cheers to you all!
There is NO place here for rude,ignorant comments about Mirka.
That comment was awesomely funny, esp with the banking.
Don't be moved with people'comments.Actually you alone knows Mira better and I believe that u make a nice pair. One doesn't have to be beautiful to be loved but Mirka is intelligent, reliable, commited, loyal n who knows even fertile to bear u future tennis `Nachwuchs'. Hey what else does a successful man need in this world? I support your affair 99% and gud luck in everything. Marjorie, Einsiedeln.
It is not anyone's business all you comment here and one should be very simple and stupid to pronounce this way over other people's private life.
It's a pity most people are like you.
Ignore all those rude comments, they just say eithout knowing nething.
I think u two make the best couple i have ever seen.Mirka is wonderful.She is so pretty & cute.We have seen many beautiful couples but their relation hardly exist 4 more than 6 months.
U know 1 thin, u r so lucky to be so famous and successful and yet have a beautiful,loyal,supportive and pure love.
morocccoo! u dont know how much i love youuuuuuuuu!!!and wish u the best of luck, u and mirka;
just be what u r! loveeeeeee

she is by far the most gorgeous looking girl ive seen.and you two look perfectly happy together.
cheers to you both and also to many coming matches that you are going to win!
omg!! you people are nuts!! if you REALLY cared about Roger you wouldn't say such rude comments about his girlfriend of 7 freakin years!! do you have any idea what she does for him? how shallow can you people get! i read an interview with roger a while ago and someone asked him, "what was the happiest day of your life? " but he didnt say " when i first won wimbledon" sor something like that...guess what he said? roger said, "the happiest day of my life was when i met mirka at the sydney olympics" how sweet is that?? =)
You, who wrote this above you're so right, wise and reasonable.
Hello Roger and Mirka, great accomplishments and keep it up. I am a great fun of your tennis Roger. It's a pity I've never seen Mirka play but I'm sure she's good judging from her records I read and also given that you met in Sydney in 2000 as two Swiss representatives. I also liked your fotos especially "Prost" and "Kiss". Alles gute von mir hier in Kigali-Rwanda. Gruss,(garcon13@hotmail.com).
-A fan
also to you mirka you are so lucky of having a guy like roger. other than of being so cute and and guess you deserve to roger dont mind criticism towards people who have more insecurities they are only bully and they act like a ignorant people... best wishes with you both and stay sweet as ive seen u on tv..pls reply with this email clitortied@yahoo.com... i love you... is it possible if i could have a picture both of you on my email add? i hope soooo bye hugs and kisses you roger and mirka....

You guys are the best. I have you in my prayers always, for Wimbledon and your health. I wrote once before saying to remember to smile and enjoy the game that has blessed you so. I will be watching closely this week. Whatever happens, be the best with good sportsmanship. To whom much is given , much is expected. Much love Pee.
She is not educated. She is on national tv and she doesn't even bother to brush her hair.
DISGUSTING
AND disappointing.
bad for the greater good. why do idiots get money.
MIRKA is Tennis' greatest dissapointment.
Iam an athiest, but when ever you are in the court ,I always pray for you,
You are the ever great tennis player I have seen,
Long live with Mirka,she is perfect for you
ano ur datin murka, and ur much older than me, but, its true!!
and mirka is really sweet. you both together looks good really
I went to school in Wimbledon and used to support Wimbledon FC.If they can defy the odds and beat mighty Liverpool in an FA Cup Final, then Roger you can comeback from your W'don disappointment.You didn't play badly at all,just didn't manage to convert all those breaks in the 1st two sets. Your serve was awesome.And your tie-break record at the hallowed venue since 2003 is 24-3 .Wow.
With Rafa & Novak it's harder now of course.
Paris may be a nut you can't break,but the hard courts and W'don you still have good chances.
You were bound to be hungover from losing the epic (Having now lost in Toronto). It's how you can respond to the adversity that's important!
Stay healthy and fresh.You're only 26 remember!
Good luck to you both.
am die hard fan
well this is not matter to speak
but this year is worst for fede
wat happened to fede
he lose olympics
.....
his ever hardest losssssssssssssss
I am probably your oldest fan. Old enough to be your mother that is. I have liked and admired you the first time I saw you play. You remind me so much of Bjourn Borg, with your calm demeanor. You never show any negative emotion, despite winning or losing. You have the nicest smile and are so courteous. I liked you before you were the greatest tennis player ever.
Dont pay any attention to such low lifes when putting down your girlfriend "Mirka". I understand that you are soulmates. The heart is the most precious thing ever. It never grows old such as skin will do over time. If you both love one another that is all that matters.
Lately you have been slumping. It appears that your mind is on something else, maybe retiring, marriage, or troubles. I hope everything is alright.
You take care,
Your oldest fan Mom "Susan"
are u playing tennis or somthing else?

You are really the greatest player of all time. And I admire how Mirka has always been there in all your matches.
Do you know that when you cried in the Australian Open...I was crying with you too!
But even if you didn't make it then, you still are the best! Everyone respects you for your talent and professionalism.
you too are the hottest.Fat or thin is not the point but love is the maximum point.Get marry and enjoy
Please don't listen to the ugly despicable comments written about Mirka. She is the best and she is your TRUE soulmate. I respect you more because of your relationship with Mirka. PLease ALWAYS REMEMBER: Mirka COMPLETES you!
