LONDON -- Andy Murray isn't afraid of dropping F-bombs during particularly hectic tennis matches, but his fiancée Kim Sears is normally a bit more classy.
When she watches him perform she tends to do little more than whoop and holler. Not so during the Australian Open semi final on Thursday.
As Murray stormed back after a poor start to beat Czech player Tomas Berdych she went on an apparent foul-mouthed rampage which was, naturally, caught by the cameras constantly trained on her.
Initially, people weren't sure what she was saying.
Vote a or b for 'What Did Kim Sears say? a) "F****** have that you Czech f****** f***" OR b) "F****** have that you s*** flash f***"?— Joe Krishnan (@joekrishnan) January 29, 2015
Eventually they got the gist, and the reactions came thick and fast.
Most people warmed to this new, aggro side to Sears.
Not sure why I find it so funny, but the Kim Sears vine of her going mental is just hilair!! #topwagging— Angharad Thomas (@AngharadFthomas) January 29, 2015
So we're all cheering for Murray now just so we can have more of Kim Sears and her potty mouth, yes?— Dan Ginnane (@DanGinnane) January 29, 2015
Former tennis pro Anne Keothavong loved it.
“@BenRothenberg: Forget how big the diamond is; THIS is what true love is made of. #ausopen https://t.co/jETjH7CunD” f****** hilarious!— Anne Keothavong (@annekeothavong) January 29, 2015
One man was annoyed he had to watch Sears at all.
so annoying how Kim Sears being shown between points. What are we watching here, tennis or Murray's bird? I shouldn't even know her name— Ned Kelly (@weirdbeardo) January 29, 2015
Some, meanwhile, couldn't resist the obvious.
Kim Sears? KIM SWEARS MORE LIKE.— Elizabeth Day (@elizabday) January 29, 2015
Andy Murray defended Sears' outburst after the match.
"I was told about that," he said. "When there’s a lot of tension surrounding something which you (the media) created, then it’s completely normal that the whole first set everyone was tight."
