Tennis champion Andy Murray’s wife Kim Sears has given birth to their first child, a baby girl.

The couple, who got married in Murray’s hometown of Dunblane last April, announced the pregnancy last summer.

Murray played in the Australian Open last month where he spoke about how he would be on the first plane home if his wife went into labour.

The birth of their daughter comes after a momentous 12-month period for Murray, the British number one and a double grand slam winner.
