All eyes have been on Roger Federer and Andy Murray this week. But what about the women behind the men?

Mirka Federer is married to the new champion. Andy's 24-year-old girlfriend Kim Sears is super-stylish, though. And after six years of dating it doesn't look like she's going anywhere soon.

Here's what you need to know ...

Mirka Federer

A former professional tennis player, the 34-year-old brunette met Roger at the 2000 Summer Olympics. Though she retired in 2002 because of a foot injury, she has been by her husband's side every step of the way.

What Roger has to say: "I think it's a great help that she actually played," Federer told The New York Times in January. "I never started dating a tennis player because of that ... but in my situation, I think it really does help, because she knows in some ways what it takes."

Kim Sears

The daughter of tennis coach Nigel Sears, this 24-year-old stunner met Andy at the 2005 U.S. Open. At only 17, she was quite young. But she went on to become a top student in English Literature at the University of Sussex in Brighton.

What Andy has to say: "She doesn't want to follow me around on tour," he said in 2009. "She wants to have her own career, not just pose in Hello magazine."
