In one such snippet from the film, Federer’s wife Mirka reflected on the 20-time Grand Slam champion calling it a career. A teary-eyed Mirka says she will miss watching how "gracefully" Federer played tennis, a feeling that she believes others also shared.

"Yeah, I think I will miss... I will miss seeing [Roger Federer] play tennis," Mirka said (at 1.20.20). "Just because he plays so gracefully and so incredible and I think, erm, people will miss the same, yeah."

An emotional Mirka continued with her message, saying she would always be there for him. She went on to speak about the joy and excitement that the Swiss legend’s presence brings to her life.

"I'm just so happy to live with [Roger Federer] and be with him," Mirka said (at 1.20.20). "So yeah, I'm gonna always be there for him, and yeah, so excited that I found him in my life."
