Andy Murray made sure he took some time out of his rehabilitation to join his wife Kim Sears at Cheltenham Festival on Wednesday. Looking rather relaxed, the couple were pictured watching the opening race on Ladies Day from their VIP stand. At one point during one of the races, Kim appeared pretty animated – much to the amusement of her husband! One picture also saw the lovebirds gaze into each other’s eyes, while another saw them embrace in a rare display of affection.
Their joint outing comes shortly after Andy, 31, revealed his plans to retire from his tennis career this year. The former men’s world number one said he intended to bow out following Wimbledon in June, but admitted he feared that January’s Australian Open could be his last tournament. Over the past 12 months, Andy has been struggling to recover from a hip injury and surgery, and revealed at a press conference in Melbourne that he has been in pain while he plays. “I’m not sure I’m able to play through the pain for another four or five months,” he said. “I want to get to Wimbledon and stop but I’m not certain I can do that.”
