On Saturday in his home town, Dunblane, Murray marries his long-time
partner Kim Sears. In a little over a month he turns 28; Djokovic, who
married his long-time partner Jelena Ristic after winning Wimbledon last
year, will celebrate his 28th birthday exactly a week after Murray.
They are umbilically linked, a blessing as much as a curse, because such
propinquity serves up constant comparison. -- Kevin Mitchell, "Andy Murray must work harder if he is to end Novak Djokovic torture," The Guardian, April 5, 2015 |
| Origin |
| Propinquity entered English in the mid-1300s and can be traced to the Latin propinquitās meaning "nearness." |
