Andy Murray explains how wife Kim reacted to wedding ring being stolen at Indian Wells
Andy Murray has revealed his wedding ring – attached to his sweaty tennis shoes – was finally returned to him after he threatened to report the disappearance to the California police.
“I was told that someone from the hotel obviously picked it up,” he said.
The former world No 1 took to social media to appeal for information when the band of gold and his shoes went missing from outside his Indian Wells hotel room.
But he later reported both items were back in his possession – and his day then got better when he won his first match at the BNP Paribas Open by beating Frenchman Adrian Mannarino 6-3, 6-2.
Asked about his shoes and ring in his post-match press conference, the Scot said: “The day that we realised they were, let’s say misplaced or someone had moved them, I went and I spoke to the lost and found a couple times at the hotel that day.
