Switzerland – Roger Federer became a father of twin girls after his wife Mirka gave birth Thursday.

In a statement released on his personal Web site and Facebook page, tennis' world No. 1 said the girls have been named Charlene Riva and Myla Rose.

"I have some exciting news to share with you," Federer's Facebook page said.

"Late last night, in Switzerland, Mirka and I became proud parents of twin girls.

"We named them Myla Rose and Charlene Riva and they are both healthy, and along with their mother they are doing great.

"This is the best day of our lives."

It was the first children for the couple, married in April.

Earlier this month, Mirka sat courtside through the nerve-racking Wimbledon final in which Federer beat American Andy Roddick 5-7, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5), 3-6, 16-14 to clinch his 15th grand slam title, breaking the record held by Pete Sampras.

The 27-year-old Federer met his wife-to-be — born Miroslava Vavrinec in Slovakia — in 2000 when they were competing for Switzerland in the Sydney Olympics.

Mirka, 31, emigrated with her family to Switzerland as a small child, and after playing on the WTA Tour and retiring prematurely due to injury, she became one of Federer's managers.

Will they play in the next wimbledon doubles?

WTF? Bro, take a chill pill now.

We're all happy for Federer, he doesn't have a bigger fan than I. Do you want us to start arguing about the choice of names and their possible growth rates? This is the sports section. Federer bi mo, good for him. Congratulatory messages and jokes abound. Because you've not seen those that want to marry them yet?

i like twins and i thank God for them.
soon we will watching them in men's singles.

i diddnt see anything wrong with the borat's reply, not as if he made an offebsive statement or somn. . .who knows, he could even be grooming them to be tennis superstars right now as we speak.

@topic
