Prior to his return to the ATP World Tour at the Rogers Cup in Montreal, World No. 1 Roger Federer and wife, Mirka introduced their twin girls, Myla Rose and Charlene Riva to fans via Federer’s official Facebook page.

Federer, who used Facebook and his official web site to break the news of the twins’ birth on 23rd July, wished to share the first photo to be released with his fans via the social networking site instead of selling it for an exclusive feature elsewhere.

“As promised, here is a family picture that my dad took,” wrote the Swiss superstar on his Wall. “He thinks he's becoming a professional photographer. It was very funny as both girls had the hiccups while we were trying to take a decent picture. The girls and mom are doing great. Thanks for all your warm wishes.”

With the birth of his first children, Federer, who celebrates his 28th birthday today, has been absent from the circuit for the past five weeks since winning a record-breaking 15th Grand Slam singles title at Wimbledon.

The Swiss returns to action at the sixth ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event of the season, which begins Monday in Montreal. Two-time former champion Federer has a bye through the first round and will face either Russian Igor Kunitsyn or Canadian wild card Frederic Niemeyer in his opening match.
