Madrid, Spain (SportsNetwork.com) – Roger Federer’s wife, Mirka, gave birth to the couple’s second set of twins, boys Leo and Lenny, the former world No. 1 announced on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
“Mirka and I are so incredibly happy to share that Leo and Lenny were born this evening! #TwinsAgain,” Federer, who already has four-year-old twin girls, Myla Rose and Charlene Riva, wrote on his Twitter feed.<\/p>\n
The Swiss great announced earlier Tuesday that he had withdrawn from this week’s Madrid Open Masters 1000 event to be at the delivery. He’s a three-time champion in Madrid.<\/p>\n
“I’ve decided to withdraw from Madrid to be with my wife Mirka during these next few exciting weeks for our family,” the 32-year-old Federer wrote on his Facebook page earlier in the day. “I’ll be training near my home, and am excited to rejoin the Tour soon.”<\/p>\n
The 17-time Grand Slam champion had said he would not hesitate to miss any tournament to be at the birth, even the French Open, which gets underway on May 25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
