Melbourne – Warning: The Australian Open men’s final might contain explicit language.
Andy Murray’s fiancee, Kim Sears, dressed for Sunday’s final in an oversized T-shirt with a message that poked fun at the widespread attention paid to her use of colourful language during Murray’s semifinal.
Videos of her apparent expletive-laden outburst during Murray’s win over Tomas Berdych on Thursday went viral online and were then picked apart by the British press which tried to read Sears’ lips to analyze exactly what she had said.
Rather than shy away from the issue, Sears’ T-shirt for the final showed a sense of humour. It read: “Parental Advisory Explicit Content.”
Murray, who is no stranger to outbursts on the court, defended his finacee after the semifinal by saying the match had been tense.
“In the heat of the moment you can say stuff that you regret,” he said when asked about Sears’ use of some “Angle-Saxon adjectives.”
Sunday’s final against No 1 Novak Djokovic was expected to be tense, too. – Sapa-AP
