Andy Murray, Britain's king of the tennis courts, has taken to social media in a desperate attempt to retrieve his stolen wedding ring.<\/h2>\n

The 34-year-old lost the ring while practising ahead of his bow in a tournament in Indiana Wells in the US \u2013 and he is now firmly in the \"bad books\" of wife, Kim.<\/p>\n

Before every practice session and match, Murray takes off the ring and ties it to the laces of his tennis shoes.<\/p>\n

After he had finished a training session last night (Thursday), the three-time grand slam champion took off his shoes \u2013 which were a \"bit smelly\" after enduring several hours of exercise in the Californian heat \u2013 and left them under a rental car he is using, so they could dry out ahead of tonight's first round match against France's Adrian Mannarino.<\/p>\n

Alas, when he went to retrieve the shoes, which were too pungent to be left in his hotel room, they were gone \u2013 and so, too, was the precious ring.<\/p>\n

Now the Scot is urging his supporters to quickly come to his aid.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"I left the shoes underneath the car to let the air get to them,\" he said in a Facebook video posted by the Association of Tennis Professionals. \"When I got back to the car in the morning, the shoes were gone.\"<\/p>\n

The loss of the shoes were not the end of the world, as Murray quickly bought some replacements from a local sports shop. But it was only as he prepared to take part in more training that the true scale of his loss became apparent.<\/p>\n

\"My physio said to me 'where is your wedding ring?' and I was like 'oh, no'.<\/p>\n

\"I tie my wedding ring to my tennis shoes when I am playing because I can't play with it on my hand. So, my wedding ring has been stolen as well, and needless to say, I am in the bad books at home. So, I want to try and find it.<\/p>\n

\"If anyone has a clue where they [the shoes and ring] may be, it would be very helpful, so I can try and get it back.\"<\/p>\n

Murray's match against Mannarino is the first time he has appeared in the tournament since 2017. Whatever the result, he is guaranteed to remember the event for a long time to come.<\/p>\n
