Andy Murray reveals plans to take up one new sport after tennis retirement

Andy Murray doesn’t have a clear idea of what he wants to do when the curtain closes on his illustrious tennis career after his involvement at the 2024 Olympics. But, with the distraction of professional tennis in the rear mirror, the British sporting icon has hinted that he is aiming to progress his golf career.

Murray will savour his swansong on the Roland Garros court this summer as he prepares to represent Team GB in the Paris Games.

The 37-year-old’s Olympic prowess speaks for itself, winning back-to-back gold medals in the men’s singles at London 2012 and Rio 2016.

Now, an emotional final farewell awaits in the French capital, where he will enter the men’s doubles alongside British No. 3 Dan Evans.

But what next? Where will Murray go once his final point plays out – be it for elimination or glory? The great man himself couldn’t provide a definitive answer on Wednesday.

I don’t know exactly what the rest of my life will look like, but I will still stay in touch with the sport,” Murray explained during an interview in the Olympic Village.

“I don’t see that ever changing. My love for [tennis] won’t go away, so I’ll definitely see myself staying involved.

‌”Initially, I want to be at home with my family. I want to spend a lot of time with my kids and my wife, so I won’t be on the road much, I know that.”
