2015 Australian Open: Kim Sears Caught Swearing As Fiancé Andy Murray Battled Tomas Berdych For A Final Slot
Everyone was talking about Andy Murray’s fiancée Kim Sears after she was caught swearing at Tomas Berdych during the men’s singles semifinals match at the 2015 Australian Open on Jan. 29. Murray fought back and recovered quickly after a poor start and defeated Berdych, 6-7 6-0 6-3 7-5, to seal a final slot, his fourth Australian Open final.
During an intense part of the game when Murray was down 5-4 in the first set, Sears was shown on camera mouthing what seemed like an expletive language. It is hard to really make out what Sears really said, but journalist Joe Krishnan, who writes for The Independent and the London Evening Standard, guessed and tweeted about what Sears could actually be murmuring as she sat and watched the four-set exhilarating semifinal match.
Vote a or b for 'What Did Kim Sears say? a) "F****** have that you Czech f****** f***" OR b) "F****** have that you s*** flash f***"?
- Joe Krishnan (@joekrishnan) January 29, 2015Social media users described Sears’ apparent swearing as improper. However, there were others who thought it was reasonable because Sears was only muttering her support for her fiancé.
Kim Sears' “outburst” should not be treated with pearl-clutching opprobrium. I enjoyed it. An instinctive show of love for her fiancé.
- SimonNRicketts (@SimonNRicketts) January 29, 2015Why so much fuss about Kim Sears swearing? Is she just supposed to sit & politely clap? Passionate support of her fiancé.....you go girl
- Andrea Cochrane (@_andiec) January 29, 2015Such a shame Kim Sears wasn't mic'd up. Posh swearing is magnificent, second only to Scottish swearing.
- Sean (@shornKOOMINS) January 29, 2015Give Kim Sears a break everyone.... everyone swears... we all do it, football match, rugby matches, horse racing, tennis, basketball.
- Chris Goldsmith (@TheTennisTalker) January 29, 2015Meanwhile, Murray has defended Sears’ swearing during a post-match interview. “Again, when there's a lot of tension surrounding something, which you created, then it's completely normal that, yeah, the whole first set everyone was tight,” he said. “Yeah, in the heat of the moment, you can say stuff that you regret, and yeah, that’s it.”
Murray is a three-time Australian Open finalist, having reached the finals in 2010, 2011, and 2013. He is also the second man, after Stefan Edberg, to achieve three-runner up finishes at the said tournament.
Murray made it to the quarterfinals of last year’s Australian Open. This year, the British No. 1 will play either Novak Djokovic or defending champion Stan Wawrinka on Sunday’s final, in a bid to win his first Australian Open trophy.
Ahead of the final match, Murray said that he will try his best and give his best performance as much as possible. He added that he will have a couple of days off to recover, work hard and prepare himself. “All I can do is give my best, if it’s enough, great, if not, I literally couldn’t have done anything more to put myself in a better position come Sunday.”
