'Baby will be here in August!' Andy Murray's coach pregnant with first child
ANDY MURRAY'S coach Amelie Mauresmo has announced she is pregnant with her first child.
The former Wimbledon and Australian Open champion excitedly revealed the news today on Twitter to her 46,000 followers.
The French ex-tennis star wrote: "Baby will be here in August! #pregnant So happy."
Mauresmo, who came out as gay at the 1999 Australian Open, began coaching Murray in June 2014 following the end of his partnership with his former coach Ivan Lendl.
She was number one for 39 weeks in her tennis career and became the first French woman to reach the top of the ranking since they were introduced in the 1970s.

— AmelieMauresmo (@AmeMauresmo) April 9, 2015She retired in 2009 and as well as coaching Murray, continues to be the captain of the French Fed Cup team.
The 35-year-old will be seven months pregnant when she guides the Scotsman through Wimbledon in June this year.
Her news came just 24 hours before Murray, 27, is due to marry his long-term girlfriend Kim Sears, also 27, in Dunblane, Scotland.
It is unlikely to be a celeb-filled affair with former pro Tim Henman anticipated to be the most famous attendee.
