Andy Murray has announced his withdrawal from this week’s Dubai Championships after wife Kim gave birth to their fourth child.
The former World No.1 had planned to play in Dubai before the Miami Open, however he’s chosen to stay home and be with Kim and his new baby.
The 33-year-old already has two daughters, five-year-old Sophia and three-year-old Edie, and a one-year-old son Teddy.
The news came as somewhat of a shock to fans, with hardly anyone outside of Murray’s inner circle even aware that Kim was pregnant.
The three-time grand slam champion is now down at 116 in the world rankings after long injury lay-offs because of hip surgeries.
He has had a stop-start year after he was unable to fly to the Australian Open after testing positive for COVID-19.
His last tournament was at the Rotterdam Open where he was beaten by Andrey Rublev in the second round last week.
