Roger Federer begins his honeymoon this week in court at the Monte Carlo Open after an Easter weekend wedding to pregnant long-time girlfriend Mirka Vavrinec.
Federer told his fans on his website: "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.
Love,
Roger."
The wedding on the day before Easter comes a few months before the new bride is scheduled to give birth to the couple's first child.
The surprise nuptials came only 48 hours after the world No. 2 changed his mind and took a wild card into Monte Carlo.
