Over the years during their illustrious careers, Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka have enjoyed great bonding on and off the court. The two Swiss nationals are good friends despite being on-court rivals. Further, they have also won a gold medal together for their country at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. However, there was one infamous incident that threatened their friendship. But the Swiss maestro had a perfect response to end those rumors of unrest between the two.

Federer and Wawrinka have been involved in several memorable encounters. During one such encounter, a controversy occurred, involving Federer’s wife, Mirka.

When Roger Federer slammed a perfect reply

During the 2014 ATP World Tour Finals, Federer was up against Wawrinka in the semifinals of the tournament. In what was a nerve-wracking match, Federer’s wife was vocal in support of the former World Number 1. Additionally, she also apparently called Wawrinka ‘cry baby’ during the contest.

It didn’t go down well with Wawrinka as he appeared to point to Mirka with his racquet and ask Federer: “What did she say?” Subsequently, he also went on to complain to the chair umpire, “She did the same thing at Wimbledon. Every time I am on her side she yells before I serve. It’s unbearable.”
