Sir Andy Murray has opened up on his new life in retirement and addressed the chances of him making a return to professional tennis.

The three-time Grand Slam champion hung up his racket at the Paris Olympics last year, after a glittering career saw him win 46 titles, including two Wimbledon triumphs and one US Open championship. A former British No.1, Murray also won two Olympic gold medals and a silver, and is rightly considered one of the greatest players of his generation.

However, nearly 18 months on from taking part in his final competition, the Scotsman’s life now looks very different with his focus now away from the court and on his family instead.

Murray has been married to his wife Kim for a decade, with the couple tying the knot in 2015 having met 10 years earlier at a party during the 2005 US Open.

Together, they share four children – Sophia, nine, Edie, seven, Teddie, five, and Lola, four – and the former tennis ace has admitted in a new interview that he’s putting fatherhood first in retirement.

“My relationship with my children in the last year has got so much stronger because I’m with them every single day,” he told HELLO! magazine as he opened up on his new routine, with the school run his primary focus.

“I’m very lucky that I’m in a position where I’m able to do that. I do all of the drop-offs and pickups, and I’m now there for all of the birthdays and school events. I love it.”

Despite her dad being one of the greatest British sportspeople of all time, however, Murray admits that his eldest daughter Sophia “certainly finds [him embarrassing”.

He continued: “When I drop her off, it’s like, ‘Turn the music off, don’t get out of the car’. She won’t walk next to me. She likes to walk quite a few steps behind me.”

Murray is focused on fatherhood in retirement

As one of the most successful tennis players ever, the 38-year-old amassed a remarkable personal fortune during his playing days, banking over £50million in prize money alone.

Over the years, those winnings have been bolstered by substantial endorsement deals and sponsorship partnerships, with Murray working with big names like Jaguar, Castore, Under Armour and Head, as well as other major brands includingmazon Prime Video, Standard Life and American Express.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, his net worth is estimated to be a staggering £85million. However, some sources suggest it could be even higher, closer to the £100million mark.

However, despite his lucrative career on the court, Murray has no plans to return to the world of professional tennis. Months after retiring, he stunned the sport by joining long-time rival Novak Djokovic’s team as a coach for the Australian Open, but they later parted ways.

While he has not closed the door on coaching forever, the former British No.1 says he won’t be returning to tennis until his children are older and “maybe don’t want or need me around as much as they do right now.”

He added: “I don’t play tennis now for enjoyment, and I’m really happy about that. I feel like my purpose has changed.

“I was very focused on my tennis career, and now all of that attention goes into my family and my children. So I don’t have any urge to go on the tennis court right now; I don’t miss it. And I think that’s a really positive thing.”
