Andy Murray has revealed the exact moment he realised wife Kim Sears was 'a keeper' when they first started dating.

And the story involves 100 percent more vomit than you were probably expecting.

The pair - who have four children together - were married back in 2015 after meeting a decade earlier when they were just 18 years old.

And this week, speaking from the Centre Court at Wimbledon, Murray made a touching tribute to Kim as he made his final appearance in a men's doubles match.

Discussing his farewell, Andy took the opportunity to shoutout Kim for the role she has played in supporting his sporting career.

"I better say something about my wife because otherwise I’ll get in trouble if I don’t, but this is probably going to be the hard part," he said.

"We met the first time when we were 18 years old. Kim’s dad is a tennis coach and we met over in New York and went out for dinner there at the US Open.

"I choked a little bit the first time we went out. We walked her home to her hotel and I asked her for her email address. I don’t think that’s a normal thing to do.

"She came along to actually watch me for the first time at the US Open. I actually vomited twice in that match.

"Once right in front of where she was sitting. I then stood up and vomited on my opponent’s racquet bag and she still seemed to like me so I knew she was a keeper after that."

But it seems that the throwing up didn't put Kim off, with Andy adding: "She’s been an amazing, amazing support to me and to my whole family and is the best mum."

Following his final matches, the emotional tennis legend told BBC's Sue Barker that he is looking forward to spending more time with his kids, as well as Kim, too.

However, never say never as Andy hinted that he might return to Wimbledon at some point.

"I'm not never going to come back here!" he said.

“It depends who I'm watching. I hate watching my brother. I find it really difficult to watch my brother play.

"I love tennis. I watch it all the time. I would probably be more comfortable sitting up there in a coaching box rather than somewhere else."
