One week after his runner-up finish at the Australian Open, Andy Murray has become a father. His wife, Kim Sears, gave birth to an 8lb 10oz girl on 7 February.

"Andy and Kim had a daughter in the early hours of Sunday morning and the family are doing well," Murray’s agent confirmed.

His hometown of Dunblane commemorated the birth by tying a pink ribbon around a gold post box, painted in the Scot's honour following his gold medal triumph at the London Olympics.
