Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova, 31, has praised Swiss tennis ace Roger Federer, 36, and said that he inspires her in many ways especially the manner in which he handles his personal life. She is particularly impressed with how World No. 2 Federer always has wife, Mirka and their four children — identical twin daughters Myla and Charlene, nine, and identical twin sons Leo and Lennart, four, for company while he is playing the ATPâÂÂu00c2u0080ÂÂu00c2u0088Tour."


"I think he [Federer] is an inspiration in many aspects. Not only for me, but for many players. He has always been an inspiration for me. Not only for his on-court professionalism but also the way he is doing all the things in life," Sharapova told Tennis World USA recently.
