Judy Murray has thanked fans on social media for their kind wishes after son Andy Murray and his girlfriend Kim Sears announced the birth of their new baby.
The British tennis star has yet to announce the name of his baby daughter, but his mother Judy says she is 'thrilled to bits' about becoming a grandmother.
Thank you for all the baby messages. Thrilled to bits. 💕🍼

Love from Granny. X
Judy has also said she plans to take a step back from tennis to focus on being a new grandparent.
Last week, the 56-year-old told Hello magazine: "I'm really looking forward to the new baby, my first grandchild.
"When it happens I shall be an active granny. My mum Shirley was very involved with Jamie and Andy when they were growing up and I hope to be the same with my grandchild."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
