Andy Murray (Andymurray.com)
Former three-time Tennis grand slam winner Andy Murray opens up about his life after he stopped playing tennis. He feels that the post-retirement life was more relaxing than he thought. In a recent interview, he said “ Since I've stopped, I feel free and have got lots of time to do whatever it is I want”.
He also says “It's nice and I didn't expect that. I was expecting to find retirement hard and be missing tennis a lot and wanting to get back on the tennis court on tour”. But retirement life is opposite to what he thought now he enjoys life after tennis.
Murray feels that he can now spend his valuable time growing his children, playing golf, go to the gym as he wishes. The 37-year-old found a new career in playing golf switching from Tennis. He will play in the upcoming celebrity Pro-AM golf tournament at Wentworth teaming up with Robert MacIntyre next week.
