It is not yet known if the tot is a boy or girl – Murray is notoriously private about such personal issues – and his management team declined to reveal the sex of the new baby to SunSport.

Sir Andy is appearing at Queen's as he continues his full-time return to the tennis circuit following career-saving hip surgery in London in January 2019.

Ahead of the tournament, Murray admitted he didn't know if his body would hold up physically on his belated return to grass - his first singles match on the surface for three years.

The world No.116 married Kim Sears, the daughter of leading British tennis coach Nigel, in April 2015 in Dunblane Cathedral.

The couple, who live in Surrey, have two daughters Sophia Olivia, five, and Edie, three.

Their son Teddy Barron was born in October 2019 just a few days after he won the European Open in Antwerp.

Shortly after Teddy's birth, the Scot spoke of his delight at one day being watched from the stands by his kids - who will be under no pressure to follow their dad into a career on the court.

He said: "If my girls find their passion and are able to live their lives fulfilling that passion, then that would make me happy."

But looking after his first born son led to Murray finding a fancy for chocolate biscuits.

He remarked at the time: "Evenings were the issue when the new-born has been going to bed at 7pm and sleeping for a three-hour period.

“My wife would sleep upstairs and get a period of good sleep before the baby would wake up.

“I’d be on my own downstairs with chocolate biscuits and stuff.

“There was Halloween and second daughter’s birthday party, then also my sister-in-law had a birthday. So there was lots of cake and junk. And no training is not a good combination!"
