Your support makes all the difference.Kim Sears, Andy Murray’s fiancée, proved she has a sense of humour when she watched the Australian Open final in Melbourne yesterday wearing a T-shirt which read “Parental Advisory: Explicit Content”. She had attracted worldwide attention when television cameras appeared to catch her swearing during Murray’s semi-final victory over Tomas Berdych.
Murray said after the match that he did not know she had been wearing the T-shirt.
“I saw that she bought it yesterday when she went out shopping,” he said.
“She said she walked past it and said she had to buy it. But I didn’t know if she was going to wear the shirt today or not. She wasn’t wearing it when I left the hotel. It was a funny shirt.”
Both the #kimsears and #kimswears hashtags were trending yesterday, just as they had done after her rant at Berdych.
The BritishTennis account tweeted: “We think #kimsears just won the #AustralianOpen.”
The official Twitter account of the tournament, @AustralianOpen, replied to that message, saying: “Unofficially, we would have to agree with that! #ausopen.”
