What's Next for Murray Post-Retirement?

Posted 2 months ago

Andy Murray was a tennis player. Yes, past tense. It feels odd to say, doesn't it? It’s a surreal moment as we adjust to the idea of a tennis world without one of its greatest champions.

At the age of 37, Britain's Andy Murray has officially retired, concluding his storied career with a loss in the Olympics men's doubles quarter-finals on Thursday.

Murray leaves behind a treasure trove of memories and achievements: three Grand Slam titles, two Olympic gold medals, and a stint as world number one.

As we reflect on his career, the big questions now are: How did Murray's first day of retirement unfold? And what will he choose to do next?

From Retirement to Recognition: GB's Guard of Honour and Lunch with Hoy

On his first day of retirement, Andy Murray was welcomed at the Team GB Performance Lodge in north-west Paris.

The 37-year-old received a warm guard of honour from fellow British athletes, including the women’s hockey team.

Murray, smiling and waving, expressed his gratitude for the reception.

Later, he participated in a series of TV interviews, including a chat with British cycling legend Chris Hoy for BBC Sport. They covered topics such as Murray's decision to retire, the impact of growing up with his older brother Jamie, and his passion for collecting Olympic pin badges.

Murray then enjoyed a private lunch with Hoy, away from the cameras.
