Andy Murray’s wife said ‘I don’t want that’ when hearing of retirement plan
Andy Murray has taken on a major role less than four months after retiring.
Less than four months after retiring, Andy Murray is already heading back out on the tennis tour.
The former world No. 1 is set to coach old rival Novak Djokovic in the off-season and through into the Australian Open.
It will come as good news to Murray’s wife Kim, who told him exactly what she “didn’t want” him doing after ending his playing career.
Murray bowed out at the Olympics over the summer, joining forces with Dan Evans in the men’s doubles event. The two-time gold medallist took his fans on one last rollercoaster ride as he and Evans saved multiple match points to reach the quarter-final before losing.
Immediately after playing his final match, Murray was vague about his future. He joked that he wouldn’t become a journalist and was keen to become a scratch golfer but didn’t give any concrete plans.
The 37-year-old committed to his golf plans – he changed his X (formerly known as Twitter) bio to read: “I played tennis. I now play golf.” He’s been getting lessons and documenting his swings on social media.
Murray will now turn his attention back to tennis as he joins Djokovic’s camp. And his wife will no doubt be glad about his latest career move after claiming she didn’t want to see him do nothing but play golf.
During his appearance at Wentworth for the Celebrity Pro-Am before the BMW PGA in September, the three-time Grand Slam champion said: “I haven’t been to the gym for five weeks.
