Sir Andy Murray swears his wife Kim Sears will be lady-like now she’s a Lady

Sir Andy Murray joked yesterday that wife Kim will have to mind her language now that she is a Lady.

The 29-year-old beat Ukrainian Illya Marchenko, the world No 93, in the Australian Open in his first Grand Slam match as No 1.

And in his post-match interview the Scot, knighted in the New Year Honours, insisted he just wanted to be called Andy, adding: “I am sure of that.”

When asked if his wife liked being Lady Kim, Murray said: “I hope so.

She’s going to have to … no more swearing during my matches any more, for any of you who saw that a few years ago. Yeah, I think she’s all right.”

During the Wimbledon No 1’s semi-final victory over Tomas Berdych in 2015, Kim was caught on camera saying: “******* have that you flash Czech, ****”.
