Andy Murray got a Father’s Day surprise after clinching the Nottingham Open today, after the British tennis star spotted his four children watching from the stands.
Andy Murray’s wife and four children surprised him with an impromptu appearance at the Nottingham Open final on Father’s Day.
In the emotional moment, Murray stopped his acceptance speech after catching a glimpse of wife Kim Sears, 35, and his four children – none of whom he knew were attending the match, telling a delighted audience: ‘I had no idea they were coming!’
The former world number one beat Frenchman Arthur Cazaux 6-4 6-4 in the final to make it 10 wins in a row, and lift the Rothesay Nottingham Open.
Murray said he was hoping to make it back home in time to tuck his children into bed on Father’s Day.
But the crowd began to shout ‘Over here’ and he looked up to his left, spotting Kim and his children in the high seats.
Murray was open-mouthed as he said: ‘Oh, my God! Ah, I didn’t know they were here!’
The crowd at Nottingham Tennis Centre in the East Midlands then broke into applause.
Murray then added: ‘They came last week for the final at Surbiton, they turned up and it started raining then they had to go home for the kids’ bedtime and they missed the end of the match so it’s great they could come today.’
Murray defeated Frenchman Arthur Cazaux in straight sets to make it 10 wins in a row.
It sets up the perfect build-up for Wimbledon, which starts on July 3.
