“I’ve lost about 11, 12 pounds, it’s a lot” – Andy Murray reflects on his promise to wife Kim Sears and surprising weight loss after retirement

Andy Murray has revealed that he has surprisingly lost weight following his retirement from tennis at the Paris Olympics earlier this year. According to Murray, his expectation was the exact opposite. Murray, a former World No. 1, played his last competitive match as a tennis player in men’s doubles at the Paris Games, having earlier pulled out from singles. The three-time Major winner and two-time Olympic gold medalist paired up with Dan Evans, and the duo reached the quarterfinals. Here, they were ousted by eventual bronze medalists Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul, thus bringing Murray’s illustrious career to an end.The 37-year-old recently laid bare that he has not been to the gym in several weeks, despite having previously told his wife Kim that he would “stay in good shape.” Andy Murray’s admission came during his appearance at a celebrity pro-am event in the buildup to the BMW PGA Championship.

“I haven’t been to the gym for five weeks. I said to my wife, I was like, Look, I’m going to make sure when I stop, I’m going to make sure I stay in good shape. And she said: ‘Oh, if you’re just going to go and play golf, I don’t want that’. I was : ‘No, no, I’ll get myself in the gym, make sure I stay in shape’,” Andy Murray said.
