Roger Federer is currently in Dubai for the 2026 Dubai Tennis Championships, a tournament where he holds fond memories and several records, including the most titles won and the most finals reached. This year, he attended the tournament as a spectator, accompanied by his twin sons, Leo and Lenny.
In addition to being one of the greatest tennis players in history, Federer is also a devoted father of four children. The former world No. 1 and his wife, Mirka, were married on April 11, 2009, at Wenkenhof Villa in Riehen, near Basel. They are parents to two sets of identical twins: their first set, twin girls Charlene Riva and Myla Rose, were born in 2009, followed by twin boys Leo and Lenny, who were born in 2014.

Federer has won the Dubai Tennis Championships eight times: in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2012, 2014, 2015, and 2019. He also finished as the runner-up twice, in 2006 and 2011. Notably, in 2019, he defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final to claim his 100th ATP singles title overall, becoming just the second male player in history, after Jimmy Connors, to achieve this milestone.

Federer turned professional in 1998 and during his career won 103 singles titles on the ATP Tour. He secured a total of 20 Grand Slam singles titles during his career, which include eight Wimbledon titles, six Australian Open titles, five US Open titles, and one French Open title.
Federer held the world No. 1 ranking in the ATP singles rankings and has also won two Olympic medals for Switzerland: a gold medal in doubles alongside Wawrinka at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a silver medal in singles at the 2012 London Olympics, among other accolades. He retired from professional tennis in 2022 after participating in the Laver Cup.
Earlier this year, Federer returned to Melbourne to attend the Australian Open. There, he participated in the tournament’s inaugural opening ceremony, taking part in an event called the “Battle of the World No. 1s,” alongside Andre Agassi, Patrick Rafter, and Lleyton Hewitt.
