The British professional tennis player and his wife fittingly met at the 2005 U.S. Open and tied the knot a decade later. A month after their wedding in 2015, Murray defeated Rafael Nadal in the Madrid Open and subsequently revealed the secret behind his success when he wrote on a TV camera, “Marriage Works!”

When asked by The New York Times if marriage made him feel different as he went about his tennis, the two-time Wimbledon champion replied, “I think getting married is a progression. It’s a step forward in your life away from the court. But I still need to work hard; I still need to put the work in.”

“Getting married is great, and I feel really good away from the court, and my private life and stuff is good. But you still need to train and work hard. Like, I didn’t go on a honeymoon after we got married; I went to Barcelona and trained for 10 days to get ready for the clay-court season,” Murray continued. “It’s been good, but you still have to put the work in.”

Sears is the daughter of retired tennis player Nigel Sears, who served as the head of women’s tennis at the Lawn Tennis Association from 2006 to 2011. He’s coached players like AnaIvanovic, Amanda Coetzer and Daniela Hantuchová.
