British number one tennis star Andy Murray has revealed that he will delay his honeymoon with Kim Sears until the end of the year.

The Scotsman, who will marry his girlfriend of nine years on April 11 in Dunblane, is arranging his honeymoon around tennis commitments.

While the 27-year-old does not expect to compete in the Monte Carlo Masters next month, he has claimed that a honeymoon is unlikely to happen until after the season-ending World Tour Finals in November.

"Depending on how I feel after the wedding there's potential to play Monte Carlo, but I'd say that's unlikely," Murray told the Daily Mail. "The honeymoon won't be until the end of the year."

The couple announced their engagement on November 26.
