WELLINGTON, (Reuters) – World number two Roger  Federer married his long-time girlfriend Mirka Vavrinec in his  home town of Basel in Switzerland on Saturday.

“Earlier today…surrounded by a small group of close  friends and family, Mirka and I got married,” Federer said on  his official website (www.rogerfederer.com). “It was a beautiful  spring day and an incredibly joyous occasion.”

Federer and Vavrinec met at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.  Federer said last month they were expecting their first child  later this year.
