Congratulations , Roger & Mirka

Blog was on hiatus . Busy , busy week .

Lots of work , stuff and things that need to be straightened out and be done for .

On Friday evening , went basketball with Ian , Aaron , Wey Hwang , Anton , Ying Qi and Yik Fun . All fairly talented basketball players .

But , I wouldn't dare describe myself as a good player . I'm on the wrong type of court . =.=

Anyways , I was surprised to find out this ..






Roger Federer's wife , Mirka , gave birth to twins on Thursday , prompting tennis fans from all over the world to send congratulations to the proud parents .

" I have some exciting news to share with you ,"

said a statement released on Federer's personal website and Facebook page .

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


Tennis' top-ranked player said the girls were named Charlene Riva and Myla Rose .

"They are both healthy and, along with their mother, they are doing great ,"

Federer's Facebook page said .

"This is the best day of our lives ."

They were the first children for the couple , married in April . Federer announced Mirka's pregnancy in March , but it was a well-kept secret that she was expecting twins .

More than 1,500 fans from all over the world sent congratulations to Federer's website .

"Here comes the future tennis players ," said one fan .

"Wait 15 to 20 years . The Williams sisters will look like a joke compared to the Federer sisters ," another said.

The birth came at an opportune time for Federer , who won the Wimbeldon title earlier this month but is not scheduled to return to the ATP tour until August 10 , in Montreal .

Swiss daily Blick said Friday it is possible that Federer will extend his leave and miss the Montreal Masters .

" I want to think basically how I want to continue ," he told the tabloid in an interview shortly after Wimbeldon .

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 Mirka - 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 child and , after playing on the WTA Tour and retiring prematurely due to injury, she became one of Federer's managers .


*************

God bless Mirka Vavrinec , and congratulations to Roger Federer on being able to receive two gifts from God . Two , beautiful gifts from the ' big man ' himself .

And without doubt , the twins will be the next William Sisters , only better in tennis and having able to use their glorious , father's name.

The Federer Sisters .



She touched me , physically ,
