Murray to become dad

Andy Murray said he is feeling "happy and lucky" at becoming a father after him and wife Kim announced they will become parents for the first time.

The 28-year-old world number three and Olympic champion will be the latest member of the top 10 to be a dad when the couple's first child is born, believed to be February next year.

Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka are already well-versed in juggling the demands of family and tennis.

"I'm not thinking what the impact (of becoming a father) will have on my career," said Murray.

"We are both extremely excited, happy and we feel lucky. But this is also private news and stuff we want to keep close to our family and friends."
