Andy Murray will leave the Australian Open early if his wife goes into labor prematurely.
Kim Sears isn't expecting until mid-February, but Murray told the Daily Mail newspaper that he's prepared to withdraw from the first major of the year if she goes into labor early.
"I'd go home. For sure, yes," Murray said in Wednesday's edition. "I want to make sure at the beginning I am there as much as I can be to try and help out, just be there for whatever is really required of me."
The Australian Open, where Murray has reached the final four times but never won, runs from Jan. 18-31.
Regardless of his result, Murray said he's taking off all of February, and won't play again until the first round of the Davis Cup in early March at home against Japan. Britain will be defending the trophy that Murray led them to last month.
