It’s a love match for tennis champ Roger Federer.
The 13-time Grand Slam winner married longtime girlfriend Miroslava “Mirka” Vavrinec in his hometown of Basel, Switzerland, on Saturday, he announced on his Web site.
“Surrounded by a small group of close friends and family, Mirka and I got married. It was a beautiful spring day and an incredibly joyous occasion,” he wrote, adding, “Mr. And Mrs. Roger Federer wish all of you a Happy Easter weekend.”
In March, the star announced that his bride-to-be was pregnant with their first child.
“We will be parents this summer!” he wrote at the time. “This is a dream come true for us.”
The athlete won’t have much time to rest up before the baby’s arrival – one Grand Slam title short of Pete Sampras’ 14 victories, Roger is expected to attempt to tie the record at the French Open in May, with Wimbledon and the U.S. Open following later this summer.
