Andy Murray pops question to Kim Sears
Scottish tennis star Andy Murray is set to marry his long-term girlfriend Kim Sears.
Murray's agent has confirmed the couple are engaged, with the Wimbledon champion reported to have popped the question last week.
The pair have been dating for more than nine years, in which time Sears has become a regular on the tennis circuit watching her man in action from the stands.
