After many disappointing Slam losses since Roger Federer's 17th Grand Slam at Wimbledon in 2012, his wife Mirka got to celebrate history with her winning husband in Melbourne.

In a marriage, one shares his or her partner's hopes, dreams and failures. For Mirka, she has been there through all of the many highs and lows, and with him, she weathered the 2016 season storm as well as the nearly five-year long Slam drought.

After Federer defeated Rafael Nadal in an epic five-set Australian Open final to claim his 18th Major, he headed backstage where his wife was waiting. The cameras caught them celebrating in the sweetest way. While nothing was said, one can practically hear them thinking, "We did it."
