Andy Murray admits to ‘missing’ wife Kim and their kids after defeat in emotional speech
World tennis champion Andy Murray has spoken about missing his wife Kim Sears and their three children in an emotionally-charged speech. The tennis professional crashed out after losing to Aslan Karastev in the Sydney Tennis Classic final at the weekend and when he addressed the crowd he couldn’t help but tear up and admit that he misses his family on the other side of the world.
Addressing the crowd, the 34-year-old fought back tears as he spoke at the presentation ceremony.
Speaking on the court, Andy said: “First time back in the final for three years, it’s been a long road to get back here but I couldn’t have done it without your help, so thank you.
“I don’t know if you were watching but I miss you all,” he added tearfully.
This is not the first time the tennis star has spoken about spending time away from his family.
In October 2019, Andy said spending time away from his wife while travelling for training “makes a big difference” to his performance.
Andy has previously shared how his wife plays a central role in ensuring he performs his best during tournaments, particularly after suffering a hip injury back in July 2019.
