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.
