World tennis fans always remember Mirka Federer – not only the wife of legendary Roger Federer, but also a talented player who played for Switzerland. However, what makes many people wonder for the past two decades is: Why is Mirka retired early when his career is still promising?
And now, after 23 years of silence, the truth is finally revealed – a secret that is hidden for a long time, only encapsulated in7 heartbreaking words: “I hurt but not stop.”
This sentence was shared by a close friend of Mirka in a recent interview. As revealed, Mirka had been seriously injured in the foot in a major tournament, but because of the pressure from the Union and the desire to continue playing, she compressed the pain for months. The lack of proper treatment made the injury more serious, forcing her to make a decision to retire at a very young age.
Since then, Mirka has completely withdrawn from the field and quietly retreated as a solid rear for Roger Federer. She was present in most major tournaments, always a companion, cheering and taking care of the Federer in every stage of her career.
What touched the public was that silent sacrifice has never been shared by her. Mirka chose to hide the pain, hiding her own glory to step back for love, for family.
As soon as this information spread, the online community around the world could not help but be moved. Many people left comments: “She is a legend in a very unique way,” or “after every glory of Federer is a silent, resilient Mirka.”
No need for the title, no big stage, Mirka Federer chose a sacrifice path, leaving fans a beautiful, profound and admirable image.
