Comments from Murray:
Referring to his success after having his girlfriend travel with him while his coach, Mark Petchey at the time, was unavailable.

Hopefully she'll come to a few more tournaments. He was a bit worried I was going to sack him and hire my girlfriend.

It is the first time she has come to a tournament with me, and maybe I have been a little more relaxed on court.

Comments from Kim Sears:
Asked if she would be following Miss McLoughlin's route to glitzy premieres and Vogue photo shoots:

No. Sorry. It's not about me, it's about Andy.

Playing down the romanticism of the very public kiss at San Jose, 2006:

It's a bit of fuss over nothing. It wasn't planned.

Comments from third parties:
Neil Broad remembers the early stages of the Murray-Sears romance:

Kim and Andrew weren't together that much. That's why I didn't think it was that serious. They played with the younger kids together on the beach and it looked more friendly than flirtatious. I don't think they were a big item at that stage.

I saw Andrew winning on the television, and yes, I guess I was surprised to see Kim in the box.

One tennis observer thinks Murray showed the same kind of dedication to pursuing Kim as he does to his tennis:

Andy had been chasing her for a short time, telephoning her for about a year. It seems that he finally won her over at last year's US Open in New York when her dad flew his family out.

I know a lot of people will be against this but the fact is the stats show a lot of people are searching about Andy's girlfriend and as one of the main uncensored resources of Murray related information, I feel we should have this available for those searching about her. All information is/was public domain and not private.

I agree with that (not that my compliance is required) - but it is part of the 'price' etc.  If a celebrity does not want to be in the public eye, then they don't have to.  e.g. try finding out anything about Agassi and Graff ........

Yeah and I doubt she's shy of the media considering she's an inspiring actor, probably wants as much as she can get!

So maybe you're really helping her out and giving her career a helping hand ............

I forgot I could edit in here. Was just pointing out a typo, Mark, as typos bring down the level of the website.

I saw this and thought "....oh dear" but your reasoning is ok because I think thats what I first typed in google all those years ago when I first heard of him
