Roger Federer has revealed that he refuses to sleep in a bed without his wife Mirka by his side. The 37-year-old Swiss tennis legend, who holds 20 grand slam titles - more than any other player in the history of the game - is also a staunch family man and admitted that his wife, children and friends come first, despite his passion for the sport.

In a detailed interview with The Sunday Times, Federer explained that his wife, whom he married in 2009, and their two sets of twins, who are home-schooled, travel everywhere with him when he is on tour.
