'Marriage works' according to Andy Murray, but is love a performance-enhancing drug for others?

Commitmentphobes will be reeling, single people will be seething and Iain Duncan Smith will be planning to put it on a poster, next to a picture of a sad-faced single mother. But mainly, Andy Murray’s words “marriage works!”, which he scribbled on a TV camera after winning his second clay court title, were quite sweet. The player credits his wedding last month to Kim Sears, his longterm girlfriend, for his unbeaten form. “I’ve always said if the personal stuff is happy and under control that helps your performance on the court,” said Murray after the win.
