Andy Murray vs Sam Groth Highlights ᴴᴰ Australian Open 2016
His reply was unambiguous and could just present the tournaments organisers and sponsors with a huge headache should it come to pass.
Murray said: I"m going to fly home. I"d be way more disappointed winning the Australian Open and not being at the birth of the child.
For me, my child is more important to me, and my wife is more important to me than a tennis match.
Last week the former Wimbledon champion was convinced that Kim had gone into labour when he was woken by his hotel room phone, ahead of his first match at the Open.
He said at the time This morning I ordered room service and I got a phone call to my room that woke me up and I completely panicked.
Following the match, against the German player Alexander Zverev - which he won in straight sets - Murray said: There were no messages from Kim when I got off court, thankfully. I hope it stays that way as well. But Im more excited than nervous. A few weeks ago I was nervous.
Of course getting on a plane after a court side phone call from Kim, saying her waters have broken, could turn out to be a pointless gesture.
It is a 23 hour flight from Melbourne after all, so it could all be over by the time he jumps into a cab at Heathrow Airport.
But who would want to tell Mrs Murray that?
"For me, my child is more important to me, and my wife is more important to me than a tennis match"
