CENTRE COURT AT HER SCOTTISH HOTEL KIM MURRAY ON CREATING A 'HOME FROM HOME' WITH HER TENNIS LEGEND HUSBAND

Kim Murray can often be seen courtside, cheering on her three-time Grand Slam-winning husband Sir Andy Murray at Wimbledon and next month will be particularly poignant, as it marks ten years since the tennis star lifted his first trophy at the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

"I think a couple of my sponsors have plans to mark the anniversary, but I won't be doing anything personally," Sir Andy exclusively tells HELLO!. "I'm just glad to still be playing there, ten years on."

Last week proved the perfect preparation when Andy, supported by his loved ones, won a major warm-up event, lifting the Lexus Surbiton Trophy for the first time. "It's great that he's still so focused," Kim tells us. "He goes out there wanting to win every single match. We are very proud of him."

Despite being plagued by injuries in recent years and experiencing some lows, as well as historic highs, in SW19, Andy is feeling hopeful this summer. "I'm pleased with how things went at Surbiton," he tells us. "I felt I was playing well and I'm feeling good moving on the grass.

"I'm going to be playing at Nottingham next, before Queen's and then Wimbledon, and after that, I plan to head out to the States to play there in the run-up to the US Open."

BACK TO HIS ROOTS

Away from tennis and the school run, the couple enjoy time at Cromlix, their beautiful countryside hotel in Dunblane, the small Scottish town where Andy grew up.

The 15-bedroom establishment, which they bought ten years ago, holds a special place in the Murray household's hearts. It was the venue for Andy and Kim's wedding reception in 2015, and Andy's brother, tennis doubles specialist and fellow Grand Slam winner Jamie, held his nuptials in the on-site chapel in 2010.
