As Andy Murray plays Tomas Berdych again – remember when sweet Kim Sears swore on TV?
Sportsman's wife was accused of making a racist remark by viewers at the 2015 Australian Open
ANDY Murray is set to face Czech player Thomas Berdych in the Wimbledon men's semi-final today, but the question on everyone's lips is whether his wife Kim will be able to keep her mouth shut this time?
The sportsman's wife landed herself in hot water at the Australian Open last year when Andy played Thomas in the tournament's semi-final after being caught on camera swearing.
But not only did the 28-year-old use a series of expletives against Thomas as he beat her then fiance during a tense set, but she was also accused of making a racist remark at the same time.
As Andy hit a winning point to try and stay in the set and the camera panned to Kim, eagle-eyed viewers claimed she said: "“f***ing having that you Czech f***ing f***.”
While some thought her comment was hilarious, others took great offence to Kim using the player's nationality against him.
At the time Andy - who married Kim in a romantic ceremony in his hometown of Dunblane, Scotland last April - defended his partner in his post match interview, saying: "In the heat of the moment you can say stuff that you regret”.
Clearly keen to change the subject, he added: “And, yeah, that’s it.”
However a spokesperson for Show Racism the Red Card described Kim's comments as “unnecessary and ill advised”, adding: “When someone says something of this nature, all we can do is ask them to reflect on it and consider whether an apology is appropriate.”
