The three-time Grand Slam winner retired from tennis just over a year ago
Murray is enjoying his retirement from tennis alongside Kim
It’s been just over a year since Andy Murray hung up his racket for good after announcing his retirement from tennis.
The former British number one walked away from the game last summer having cemented his status as one of the greatest players of his generation, winning 46 titles, including two Wimbledons and one US Open, as well as three Olympic medals. However, he certainly hasn’t started taking it easy in retirement, having got stuck in to several exciting new ventures and made some big announcements since ending his playing career.
Those new ventures have included teaming up with long-time rival Novak Djokovic to work as the Serbian star’s coach for the Australian Open, with that move taking the tennis world by surprise last year. However, while they reached the semi-finals Down Under together, their shock partnership came to an end after just six months.
Murray has since been linked with new coaching roles with the likes of British stars Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper, but for now, his interests lie elsewhere having taken up new roles outside of tennis.
Andy Murray’s new career roles
In May, it was confirmed that the 38-year-old had taken on a new job as a venture capitalist and become an associate partner at Redrice Ventures in London, who he previously worked alongside as part of a co-investment in sports wear company Castore in 2018.
In the role, Murray heads up a group of athlete advisors – the Redrice Sports Collective – to help find investment opportunities, particularly in the sports business.
The former tennis ace’s expanding investment portfolio already includes the luxury five-star Cromlix Hotel that he bought with his wife Kim in 2013 for a reported sum of £1.8 million, while he has also invested in Game4Padel, the UK’s largest operator of padel courts.
Last month, it was revealed that Murray had landed another big business deal, teaming up with Scottish potato company Albert Bartlett – a long-time supplier to Cromlix – to market their products.
“I was lucky during my early playing days to have access to the kit and facilities required to play and develop, and as my career progressed, to have the best diet and training advice available,” said the two-time Wimbledon champion as the deal was announced.
“I am excited to partner with Albert Bartlett to showcase the importance of a balanced diet and an active lifestyle to communities across the UK. I hope the project inspires people to play and enjoy sport throughout their lives, at whatever level they are able.”
Family addition
Of course, retirement hasn’t been purely about finding new work for Murray, with the Scottish star also able to devote more time to his family, as well as his love of golf.
The couple, who married in 2015 after meeting at the US Open 10 years earlier, are now proud parents to four children – Sophie, Edie, Teddy and Lola. However, their family has just got a little bit bigger, with Murray announcing on Instagram that they had recently got a new dog.
Sharing a photo of him posing and smiling with the flat-coated retriever, the tennis legend wrote simply: “New addition to the family”.

It comes after Murray revealed last year that the family’s beloved border terrier Rusty had died, as he penned an emotional tribute to the “loyal and protective” dog on social media.
“You were the most loyal and protective companion our family could have wished for,” he wrote. “You were so patient and gentle with the kids and we all learned so much from you. The house feels empty without you in it.
“The noise you made when you wanted a plate to lick or a biscuit to chew on or when you wanted anything for that matter was infuriating at times! But today we would do anything to hear it again,” he continued, with a ‘heartbroken’ emoji.
“Love you Ruzz,” Murray added. “Rest easy poppet x”
That tragic news came two years after Murray and his family said goodbye to their other Border Terrier, Maggie May, who died in 2022. The tennis ace had previously revealed how his beloved dogs were his “biggest supporters”, adding: “Whether I win or lose, they still want to hang out with me”.
