‘You’re a legend, Kim’
Murray sent a message to Sears after the defeat to Djokovic, saying: “You have been a legend the last two weeks, thank you so much for all of your support. I’ll be on the next flight home.”
During the tournament in Melbourne, Murray and Sears suffered a major scare when her father Nigel, a tennis coach, collapsed courtside and was taken to hospital.
The Lawn Tennis Association, the sport’s governing body in Britain, yesterday tweeted a picture of Murray and Sears on their wedding day with the message: “Congratulations to @andy_murray & Kim Sears on the birth of their baby girl!”
