Andy Murray’s stunning new job, choice after split from Kim and his hotel you can visit

British tennis star Andy Murray has surprised the sport by announcing a new job months after retiring from playing.

Murray is to make a stunning return to tennis as a coach to former rival Novak Djokovic. The two men, of course, shared a fierce rivalry on court but are now joining forces, with Murray set to be part of Djokovic’s coaching set-up for the Australian Open in January.

While the Scotsman has made no secret of his desire to go into coaching after playing his last match at the Paris Olympics in the summer, for him to team up with such a fierce former rival has come as a major shock.

Andy Murray’s other interests
Murray has dived straight into a new sporting passion. The Scot, a celebrated tennis legend, is now sharpening his golf skills and has taken part in a few tournaments already, all while embracing the sport he’s always been passionate about.

Now with an abundance of time on his hands, Murray has set his sights on achieving a scratch handicap in golf.

The Olympic medallist and two-time Wimbledon winner, known for his incredible success on the tennis courts with 46 titles under his belt, including one US Open championship and three Olympic medals, has shifted focus to family and fairways. Away from the baseline buzz, Andy is dedicating more time to his wife Kim and their four children as they all adjust to this thrilling new chapter.

Life’s course has taken a turn for this sportsman since he took his final bow at the Olympics in early August. Murray is currently playing off a seven handicap, and got to show off his golfing prowess when he made his debut at the esteemed BMW PGA Championship’s Pro-Am at Wentworth recently.

He’s also shown his competitive edge at the BTJA Mike Dickson Golf Day held at Hanbury Manor Golf Club in Hertfordshire. To boot, he’s embraced his new life with a small but telling change on Twitter, updating his bio from “I play tennis” to “I played tennis, I now play golf. ”.

Golfing with Scottish golfer Robert MacIntyre at Wentworth, Murray impressed onlookers with his skills.

Reflecting on Murray’s golfing ability, MacIntyre remarked, “For someone that’s not really played that much, I thought he was good. I was very impressed with his game. He’ll be scratch in no time.”

Discussing the pressure of golf compared to tennis, Murray said, “It’s a different sort of nerves, because you are comfortable in the sort of tennis environment. I’m not thinking I’m going to walk out on the tennis court and forget how to hit the ball.”

Marriage to Kim and brief split
Murray has been happily married to Kim Sears – daughter of tennis coach Nigel Sears – since 2015. They were first spotted together at a party during the US Open ten years prior to tying the knot. The pair, after dating for close to a decade, celebrated their union in Murray’s Dunblane hometown, but not before enduring a rocky period when they briefly separated in 2009, leading to Kim ‘winning custody’ of their beloved dog Maggie.

This separation lasted only six months before Murray made a big decision and they reconciled, with Murray later revealing that being in a relationship improves his day-to-day life, particularly after intense matches on the court. He confessed: “I work better in a relationship. At the end of the day, especially if I’ve lost a match, I don’t like talking about tennis, so it’s nice to have someone to talk to about other stuff.”

The couple are proud parents to four children – Sophia, eight, Edie, six, Teddy, four, and Lola, three. Kim is often spotted cheering on her husband during his tennis matches and supporting him off the court as well.
