Dating a professional sports player mustn’t be the easiest gig in the world. There’s a lot of travel involved without much recreation time. There’s a big commitment to extended hours of training and match preparation to contend with. And when the time comes where they actually compete, you’re mostly expected to sit in the stands as emotionless as possible, maintaining some sort of austere professionalism; checking your own enthusiasm at the door.
Enter, Kim Sears. Partner of perpetually fired up Scot (don’t ever call him British) Andy Murray.
Murray battled Czech 7th seed Tomas Berdych in the men’s semi final of the Australian Open last night, and Sears was on hand to lend support, watch on with interest, and get really emotionally invested in the contest.
How emotionally invested? At one point the traditional Scottish propensity for somewhat salty language appeared to manifest itself within Sears, who was caught on camera firing off a few choice words for Murray’s opponent.
The exact nature of what she seems to have said is a little up in the air. But a best bet would be something along the lines of this magnificent string of words.
“Fuckin’ have that, you Czech flashy fuck.“
Which is brilliant for a number of reasons, but mainly because “Fuckin’ have that” is one step shy of the quintessential Australian barb “fuckin’ cop that” and therefore is grounds for an invitation of citizenship to be extended.
Sports aren’t for sitting quietly and being reserved. Sports are for shouting shit at professionals who can’t shout back.
Get it, Kim. You. Get. It.
For the record, Murray sailed through to the men’s final of the Open, downing Berdych in four sets: 6-7 6-0 6-3 7-5.
