Kim Sears was left cringing on Monday when husband Andy Murray revealed a bit too much information during a post-match interview.
Murray sent the tennis world into meltdown as he beat 24th-seed Nikoloz Basilashvili in his first match at Wimbledon since 2017. The two-time champion survived a third-set meltdown to beat his Georgian opponent 6-4 6-3 5-7 6-3.
Murray was on the verge of a straight-sets stroll as he took a 5-0 lead in the third set, but inexplicably lost seven-straight games to lose it 7-5.
The match was then delayed so the roof could be closed on Centre Court, but the interruption seemed to settle Murray’s nerves as he prevailed in the fourth.
He was then asked about the delay in his on-court interview and what he did when he left the court.
His response cracked up the crowd and had his wife cringing.
“I went and had a shower. I went to the toilet. Just a number one,” he said with a wry grin.
Sears could be seen visibly cringing in the stands before putting her head in her hands.
However she did see the funny side of Murray’s confession, as did mother Judy and the rest of the 50 per cent capacity crowd.
Andy Murray saying “I went to the toilet” when asked what he did to prepare for the fourth set was absolutely marvellous. Deadpanoramic.
