London: British tennis star Andy Murray has become a father for the first time after his wife Kim Sears gave birth to a baby girl on Sunday, the BBC reported yesterday.

Murray and Sears, who are both 28, got married in the world number two’s home town of Dunblane in Scotland in April last year.
The Scot, who has won two Grand Slams in his career, reached the final of the Australian Open last month but lost to Serbian world number one Novak Djokovic.
