In a recent interview with the Tennis Channel, former World No. 1 Andy Murray revealed that unlike his "intense and fiery" attitude on the court, he is "super soft" when it comes to fatherhood.

Asked whether he does parenting with the same level of "intensity and discipline" that he exhibits on the tennis court, Andy Murray disclosed that "unfortunately" he is not that hard on his kids.

"Super soft, yeah super soft, unfortunately," said Murray.

Andy Murray has four children with his wife Kim Sears, whom he married in April 2015. The three-time Grand Slam champion is a proud father of three daughters and a son, from one to six years old.

In an earlier interview with The Morning, giving insights into his busy life as a father, Murray stated that "seeing his kids at the table" eating food together are some of the things that make him "proud." He also mentioned that although his eldest daughter Sophia plays tennis once a week, he feels that it is much more important for her to chill out with her friends at her age.

Murray also disclosed the reason for having four children, highlighting that it was his wife's idea since she always wanted a "big family."

"Seeing the kids sitting at the table, behaving and eating their food and going to bed at the right time, those sort of things make me proud. My eldest daughter plays tennis once a week and if she wanted to I'd be happy – but at their ages, it's important to be doing stuff with their friends," said Murray.
"My wife wanted four. I was fine with three; she always wanted a big family. But it's all done now, so…" added the Brit.
