Two-year-old Myla Rose and her sister Charlene Riva looked adorable in matching pink dresses and white cardigans as they cheered Roger on during his warm-up.
Luckily for Federer though, the girls left as the match got underway - and were nowhere in sight when he lost out on the title in the semi-final against Rafael Nadal.
The girls were not with their mother Mirka, a former tennis player who married Federer in 2009, who did attend the match but sat elsewhere - later burying her head in her hands as she watched her husband in frustration.
Federer versus Nadal remains one of sport's great rivalries but the 30-year-old Swiss player was this time defeated.
Nadal, however, secured his place in Sunday's title decider against Novak Djokovic or Andy Murray - his fourth consecutive grand slam final - despite suffering a sudden and crippling knee pain on Sunday which threatened to end his tournament. He recovered after intensive medical attention.
The world No.3 told said in an interview with the Independent: 'Before, I guess, mum and dad were everything, but now, in my case, I had two new girls and all of a sudden they're completely dependent on you and there's a third generation.
'It's a funny shift. You have the babies, you have yourself and then you have your parents. Unfortunately I don't have grandparents any more.
'All of a sudden it makes you realise even more what your own parents did for you and how much you owe them.'
