Roger Federer expecting another set of twins

Tennis ace Roger Federer and his wife Mirka are reportedly preparing to welcome their second set of twins in July.

The Swiss athlete revealed his partner was pregnant with their third child via Twitter in December last year but as it turns out the pair might actually be adding another duo to their quickly growing brood.

Mirka, a former tennis player herself, gave birth to identical twin girls, Myla and Charlene, in 2009 just three months after she and Roger wed.

Roger, who currently ranks eighth in the world, has previously expressed that he holds the superstition that pregnancy brings good luck and said he played well last time Mirka was carrying their twins. So will the dual pregnancy bring any extra luck to Roger’s 2014 season?

After a disappointing 2013 Grand Slam campaign, where the Fed failed to hold up a winner’s trophy, he has started the 2014 season strong. Even though he has dropped two places in the current rankings, his performances so far have showed promise.

So before Mirka gives birth toward the middle of the year perhaps Rodger can get a few big wins in to show the bubs when they’re born.
