Sir Andy Murray has become a father for the second time in news which has emerged hours after his big charity match in Glasgow against Roger Federer.

The tennis star and his wife, Kim Sears, welcomed a baby girl at the weekend in England, according to media reports.

The couple had announced in July that they were expecting baby number two.

She added: "I'm delighted of course - another little great-granddaughter and hopefully another little playmate for big sister Sophia.

"It's nice to get some good news.

"We were told that everything is well."

Ahead of his appearance in Glasgow last night, Murray believed he would get back to his best after targeting a new year comeback from a hip injury.

However, the 30-year-old said he will not rush his body and admitted there was always a doubt following an injury.

The two-time Wimbledon champion had not played competitively since labouring his way through this year's tournament at SW19 and limping out at the quarter-final stage to Sam Querrey.

However, the Scot hoped to be fit for the season kick-off with an appearance at the Brisbane International, which starts on December 31.
