Schweizer Illustrierte: Mirka, it is impressive with which rest and sovereignty Roger does all that. And he looks great.
Mirka: I like it very much if he is dressed so well. If I see him in that way - healthy, relaxing, nice-, then I’m also really fine.
SI: Are you responsible for his outfit?
Mirka: I take part in that, yes…
SI: Where do you go to shopping?
Mirka: In the whole world. But we are often in Zurich, there we have many friends. And the city is a shopping paradise.
SI: And the fantastically nice diamond on your left ring finger...
Mirka: ... likewise a present. Any more I would not like to say in addition, however.
SI: They have your mobile phone, a new Blackberry, always handy...
Mirka: I receive more than fifty e-mails per day.
SI: You are a sort of Rogers chief assistant …
Mirka: …sometimes I notice that I hardly have more time for myself. I also hardly do sports - and, hence, have a few kilos too much. I know this very well!
SI: Does this disturb you?
Mirka: Now it is about Rogi. Now he is the number 1 of the world. This comes only once in life. My time still comes. After the tennis. We have discussed this also so with each other.
SI: How important is it for your relationship that you were a pro's tennis player, too ?
Mirka: Very important. I would even say that we get on, therefore, so perfectly. So much tennis would endure no other woman! Tennis is omnipresent in our life. Every day, every minute.
SI: You protect him in every situation, with that you make sometimes yourselves unpopular.
Mirka: I do not care about that and to be held now and then for a dragon. Who criticises me, should get once, what everything comes up to us every day.
SI: You take everything, renounce on a lot. What does Roger return for it?
Mirka: A lot, a lot... Rogi proves his love to me daily! He says to me daily very nicely thank you. He is an attentive man. It comes back a lot. He spoils me.
