Roger Federer is ready to give his fans a short glimpse of his tennis career. A career in which he won 20 Grand Slam titles and created a name for himself that will always be a part of the tennis arena. It will not only talk about his professional life but also have some meaningful insights from his family, including his wife, his previous coaching team, and the people who are close to him.

While it’s Roger’s first documentary, it will also be Mirka‘s first appearance—more than a decade—in front of the camera just for the documentary. As someone who has never given an interview or ever appeared alongside Federer while he is giving an interview, it will be a great surprise to watch Mirka speak up in front of the camera.

While it’s not only Laver Cup that will be the highlight of the movie, his wife Mirka has also taken a huge step just to make the documentary more special. If you are a tennis fan, you may already be aware that she hasn’t interviewed in almost a decade.

The film will also have some of his biggest rivals, thanks to the interview, Joe Sabia, who created the 73 Questions franchise for Vogue, took to make the documentary even more special, with interesting inputs from Nadal, Andy Murray, and Djokovic. According to Bloomberg, in one of his past interviews, Federer shared his feelings about the documentary.

He stated, “It’s a snapshot of my life over those 12 days, which is pretty hardcore and interesting.” Further, he also highlighted how he has never let anyone get into his house or his personal space, just like his wife, who has always kept her distance from the camera.
