Roger Federer met his girlfriend, Miroslava (Mirka) Vavrinec, at Syndey 2000 Olympics, when they both were representing Switzerland. And ever since then, they are inseparable.
Some interesting trivia about Federer's Hot Tennis Girlfriend:Mirka Vavrinec was born in Slovakia.She emigrated as a 2 years old.Mirka is three years older than Roger.Her highest WTA singles ranking is 76 (on Sep '01).Navratilova introduced Mirka to tennis when she was nine.Her parents own a Jewellery and live in Schaffhausen.
Interesting News Burb:In 1987, when Mirka was nine, her father took her to watch a tournament at Filderstadt in Germany. The event coincided with Navratilova's birthday, and Mirka's father, a huge fan, managed to hand her a present. He had his daughter by his side and Navratilova asked the youngster if she played tennis. No, she'd never tried it. Navratilova said she looked athletic and ought to give it a whirl.
There the exchange might have ended had it not been for Navratilova's immense generosity of spirit. When she discovered that the Vavrinecs - who originally came from Slovakia - lived in Zurich, she phoned a friend there and arranged Mirka's first tennis lesson. Later, she sent one of her rackets from America for Mirka to use. And her instincts proved remarkably astute. By 2000, Mirka was in the top 100 players in the world and in Switzerland's team for the Sydney Olympics. It was there that she met Federer.
A year later, Mirka was forced to retire because of a persistent foot injury, but Federer enjoys the story of her introduction to tennis. He likes the idea that it was Navratilova who, in a way, brought them together.

Rafael Nadal's Girlfriend Xisca Perello
Bad news, ladies... the Majorcan muscleman tipped to win Wimbledon is courting a 20-year-old smasher from his home town.
Well honed, dark, handsome and supremely talented, tennis star Rafael Nadal has unsurprisingly amassed an adoring worldwide army of female fans.
Their passion for the Spanish player – a favourite to claim this year’s Wimbledon crown – has been fuelled by PR people who have carefully nurtured his dashing image as a footloose and single young man.
Yet, as these pictures clearly illustrate, the 22-year-old star already has a very significant other in his life – a stunning dark-haired girl he once went to school with.Twenty-year-old Maria Francisca Perello, who comes from Nadal’s home town on the holiday island of Majorca, has been dating the player for three years.But the down-to-earth beauty, whose nickname is Xisca, keeps away from the spotlight and rarely watches her boyfriend play, partly because she does not wish to distract him.
Nadal’s uncle and trainer, Toni Nadal, revealed: ‘I guess a lot of girls will be upset to know the truth. 'My nephew always maintained he was single. It was a well-kept secret but actually his girlfriend is waiting for him in Majorca.’
Described by friends as ‘an intelligent girl from a good local family’, Xisca is about to take her important exams in business at university in Majorca’s capital, Palma.Her cousin Maria Perello Limones said: ‘She is a straightforward, no-nonsense girl not interested in glamour and fame. 'You won’t see her rolling out of a nightclub or laden down with designer bags after a shopping spree.’
That is just as well, because despite his wealth and fame, Nadal is a simple home-town boy who likes relaxing on the beach, fishing and sharing long meals with his family. He still lives with his parents and sister in their luxury apartment.
Mark Philippoussis and his Girlfriend
Tennis star Mark Philippoussis and his girlfriend Alexis Barbara are engaged.
Philippoussis proposed in 2005 to the 18-year-old property tycoon heiress.
The engagement comes five months after he broke up with Australian singer Delta Goodrem and a month after fellow tennis player Lleyton Hewitt proposed to his girlfriend, actor Bec Cartwright.
Following his split with Goodrem, Philippoussis was romantically linked to hotel heiress Paris Hilton.
Friends of Philippoussis, 31, told the newspaper the engagement had come as a bit of a shock "but Mark is very much in love with Alexis".
"We're all very happy the relationship has gone to the next level," a friend was quoted as saying.
It was understood Australia's Davis Cup players were aware of the engagement, the newspaper said.
Mark “Scud” Philippoussis and his high-profile girlsTara Reid - It is believed the partying prowess of this American Pie actress became too much. Current status: Single and loving it.
Anna Kournikova - Although the pair spent much of their time together denying the fling, Scud's coach Pat Cash wrote the Russian pin-up demanded Philippoussis call her three times daily to tell her she was beautiful. Current status: Rumoured to be married to singer Enrique Iglesias.
Delta Goodrem - The pair split for the sake of their careers. Scud denied famous heiress Paris Hilton was the "other woman" who tore them apart. Goodrem's song Out of the Blue was apparently written about the support he gave her while fighting cancer. Current status: Rumoured to be engaged to Irish singer Brian McFadden.
Paris Hilton - Although never confirmed the liaison got plenty of mileage in the tabloids and glossy mags. Paris claimed Scud left Delta because he was bored. This was denied but still caused a fuss. Current status: Awaiting jail.
Alexis Barbara - The Miami-born actress, model and heiress was 17 when they linked up and she was 18 when they got engaged in 2005. Both made a fortune on selling their engagement story to magazines. Only recently split. Current status: Unknown, reported single.
Other girls in his life: Australian-Bollywood actress Tania Zaetta and model-singer Susie Thorne.
Mark Philippoussis has new girlfriend, model Siobhan Parekh
HIS tennis career may be all but blitzed, but it's another game, set, match in sports stud Mark Philippoussis's love life.
Having bounced out of his reality TV relationship with Age of Love winner Amanda Salinas late last year, the perennial playboy has served himself yet another model opponent in his insatiable game for gorgeous girls.
See who else the Scud...or the Poo (which ever you prefer to call him) has dated.
Never straying far from the slim brunette stereotype, Philippoussis's latest lady Siobhan Parekh is the spitting image of the bachelor's one-time fiancee Alexis Barbara.
See who Siobhan is in these sexy shots.
A Sydney-based model whose biggest claim to fame is winning the FHM's Girl Next Door competition two years ago, Parekh has aced her way into the Scud's life after meeting him while on a modelling job in Melbourne last month.
It is understood the couple have been dating for four weeks and have been spotted shopping and lunching along the city's fashionable Chapel St on several occasions.
While Philippoussis is a tough contender when it comes to topping rocky romances, Parekh will bring some solid competition in her latest game of sports star doubles.
The leggy brunette's ex-boyfriend is controversial NBL basketballer James Harvey, who was heard along with AFL football players Daniel Kerr and Aaron Edwards discussing illegal drug use on police phone taps in 2003.
The tapes of the conversations were released by the West Australian police last year, but Harvey escaped with a $2000 fine.
Parekh relocated to Sydney from Perth several years ago and has since become a lads mag regular and close friend of Big Brother babe Krystal Forscutt.

Marcos Baghdatis and his Girlfriend
Camille Neviere is a French model and Marcos Baghdatis’ (former?) girlfriend.
Parents don’t typically set their kids up on a lot of hot dates. So it’s interesting to me that Camille was introduced to Marcos by her stepfather, Guillaume Payre, when she was eighteen. How did Guillame happen to know the Greek tennis player? Because he’s his coach, that’s how.
Their relationship became public in 2006, when Camille was seen cheering for Marcos as he advanced to the final round of the Australian Open.
Anna Kournikova and Enrique Iglesias
Russian tennis star Anna Kournikova , whose good looks have long eclipsed her court skills, has secretly married her singer boyfriend Enrique Iglesias, US Weekly magazine reported today.

Kournikova and the Latin crooner, 32, have been dating since she appeared playing his girlfriend in the 2002 music video for his hit Escape and have jokingly claimed in the past to be married.
Representatives for the pair declined to confirm the reports today but US, quoting unidentified sources, said they were wed on the beach in the Mexican resort of Puerto Vallarta a few weeks ago. Kournikova's publicist said "We never comment on her personal life".
"It was a very small and secret wedding - only family and a few very close friends were invited," the source told the magazine.
Kournikova first wowed crowds as a teenager in the late 1990s and became known as the Britney Spears of Tennis although she never won a major tournament before announcing her retirement from professional tennis in March 2004.
Iglesias, the son of Spanish singer Julio Iglesias, sings in both Spanish and English and has had worldwide hits with songs such as Bailamos and Hero.
