Andy Murray issues two-word update after winning first title after tennis retirement
British tennis icon Andy Murray has divulged he’s already gearing up to embrace a new sporting challenge following his retirement from professional tennis.
The formidable Scot, who previously held the world No 1 title and clinched three Grand Slam victories, unveiled his decision to retire in August. At 37, continuous struggles with a hip injury nudged him to hang up his tennis racket.
However, Murray is now focusing his efforts on playing on a different type of grass surface. He has traded his tennis attire for golf clubs since his announcement post the Paris Olympics where he competed alongside Dan Evans.
As a devoted father of four, Murray dedicated time to his family, yet recently, he expressed no regrets over stepping back from tennis to feed a different sportive hunger—golf. The Dunblane native stays active by hitting the golf courses, even sharing progress updates with his hefty Instagram fanbase of 2.2 million, providing glimpses into his burgeoning skillset.
