Andy Murray's wife Kim Sears cuts his hair because he hates the barbers, but it doesn't always go to

Andy Murray has admitted that he gets his wife Kim to cut his hair, saying 'she does an okay job'.

The tennis star, who has won three Grand Slams in his career, is renowned as one of the most down to earth stars in sport, and this tale does little to convince anybody otherwise.

The 36-year-old is a consummate professional who has committed relentless time and energy to being one of the best tennis players of the millennium, meaning that a trip to the barbers is not time well spent.

Most elite athletes and global celebrities have a team of people around them who can provide services such as a haircut and Murray is one of them - except in his case his stylist is none other than his wife.

Murray said: "I hate going to the hairdressers, I find it a massive hassle.

"But my wife is often nagging me to go and I just tell her if she wants me to get it cut, she can cut it.

"Basically, I never liked going to the hairdressers. 

"She was always encouraging me to do it and then she said, “Well, I’ll get someone to come and cut it at home”.

"Then it took like an hour and 15 minutes and I was like, 'This should be max 20 minutes for me, I’m not doing that again'.

"So then she just started doing it with the clippers and the scissors."

Assessing Kim's hairdressing abilities, Murray said: "She does an okay job but obviously she’s not trained, so sometimes I’ll notice that there’s like four or five hairs that are much longer than all of the other ones. 

"But she does a decent job."
