Tennis superstar Roger Federer is now off life’s singles draw – he has just married longtime girlfriend Mirka Vavrinec.

The 13-times Grand Slam winner wed the former WTA tennis player in his hometown of Basel, in Switzerland, in an intimate ceremony over the Easter weekend.

It comes a month after he announced they are expecting their first child together this summer.

Federer broke news of the wedding on the blog of his official website.

He wrote on Saturday: “Earlier today, in my hometown of Basel, surrounded by a small group of close friends and family, Mirka and I got married.

“It was a beautiful spring day and an incredibly joyous occasion. Mr and Mrs Roger Federer wish all of you a Happy Easter weekend.”

The couple met when they both represented Switzerland in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
