The first racket of the world Andy Murray will be the father for the second time

Starry tennis player, 30-year-old Andy Murray and his wife Kim Sears are preparing to replenish the family. The athlete, who defends his title of the first racket of the world in singles at the start of Wimbledon, shared the anticipation of a joyful event with the public.

Personal Confirmation

Warnings of rumors about his early paternity, Andy Murray, answering questions from journalists yesterday at a press conference on the occasion of the start of the Wimbledon tournament, said that he and his wife Kim Sears are looking forward to the second child. Two-time Olympic champion said:

"We are incredibly happy and very much looking forward to this event."

Sport or family?

Fans of Murray, of course, were happy about this news, but fear how the excitement and care of the family will affect his sports career. Speaking about participating in tournaments, Andy, who today will have to fight with Kazakhstani Alexander Bublik in the first round of Wimbledon, said:

"I'm sorry that I did not manage to see Sofia's first steps and hear how she pronounces the first word."

The tennis player added that he would try not to admit this any more, adding:

"My child is more important to me and my beloved is more important to me than a tennis match."

A commendable choice?
