Andy Murray reveals retirement plans

Andy Murray has seen much better days than his 2023 season. The Briton used to battle with the stars constantly. But after hip surgeries and many injuries, he is not able to be at the top of the sport anymore. Regardless, he has found joy in his level. However, traveling and competing in tournaments has become mentally taxing because he has to be away from his family.

Despite all the problems in front of him, Murray said, “The body’s old but I still love it, & still loving the training & traveling. It’s a little bit tougher now being away… you’ve got a young family, which is tough. But I feel good enough to compete with the best players in the world, & I’ll keep playing until I feel like I can’t do that anymore.”

Murray hopes to emulate Serena Williams’ success

After she hung up the racket, Serena Williams moved on to managing her venture capital business. She has a strict schedule still and works hard now to become a great investor. Although the 36-year-old Briton is not retiring soon, he is looking to build a secure future in the sport. Like Williams, he is also acting as a venture capitalist for British start-ups.

In an interview with High Life, Murray’s business manager said that the Briton is looking to build in the business field as well. As his portfolio diversifies further, we are bound to see many start-ups being supported by the three-time grand slam champion.
