Sardinia, Italy - World No.1 and Wimbledon champion Roger Federer has been spotted with his wife Mirka relaxing in Sardinia, Italy giving himself a well-earned break after his strenuous Wimbledon victory at the All England Lawn Tennis Club last week.

The Swiss maestro looked very relaxed and happy as he was soaking up the sun in the same holiday destination as Rafael Nadal, relaxing on a boat and giving his body a rest from intensive training. The 17-time Grand Slam champion will make the most of his days off before his training starts once again in preparation for his Olympic gold medal campaign in London in two wells.

Here are a few snaps of the tennis star and his wife:
