Andy Murray asks for tips as he starts new sport weeks after retiring from tennis
Andy Murray may only have ended his tennis career just last month, but the former British No.1 has wasted no time in trying his hand at a new sport in retirement.
The 37-year-old’s career ended at the Paris Olympics as he was knocked out of the men’s doubles at the quarter-final stage alongside Dan Evans. The defeat saw him bring the curtain down on an illustrious career in which he won two Olympic golds, two Wimbledon championships and the US Open, with 46 titles to his name in total.
His decision to hang up his racquet came after he pulled out of the men’s singles events at Wimbledon and the Olympics this year, having undergone surgery to remove a cyst from his spine. But while he has had an injury-hit few years, Murray is unlikely to be sitting around twiddling his thumbs in retirement and is instead keen to try a different sport.
A keen golfer, the Scot previously revealed that he would use his new spare time to try to improve his skills on the fairway following the conclusion of his tennis career. In fact, he has set his sights on the ambitious target of becoming a scratch golfer, which means consistently shooting par or better.
