Andy Murray is fighting against all odds to up his game and enjoy a successful end to his illustrious career. He is currently participating in the Zhuhai Championships in China. The Brit defeated Chinese player Ye Cong Mo in straight sets in the first round. Now, he will face Russia’s Aslan Karatsev in his second round.

Despite a stellar performance, the former World No.1 made headlines for another peculiar reason. The Briton hates a ritual that is followed by millions of people. So, his wife, Kim Sears, does it for the Olympic star. Murray shared one thing he cannot tolerate, and regardless of how his wife does it for him, the Brit accepts it. When his colleagues teased the 36-year-old to reveal his reasons, Murray had to surrender.

The three-time Grand Slam champion’s wife supported him through thick and thin. When Murray was struggling with injury, Kim was his biggest moral support. For the woman who stood like a rock beside Murray, it is not as difficult to accept an unusual trait of the Brit. Next time you watch Murray play, notice his hair. Why? The Brit explained this in detail in a recent Q&A session with the ATP Tour.

The 46 singles titles winner answered questions from various colleagues as a part of ATP‘s ‘The Tour: Player Questions.’ In the video uploaded to the official ATP website, Jack Draper, Murray’s Davis Cup teammate, poked him to reveal how he gets a haircut. The World No.41 answered, “Usually it’s my wife that cuts my hair. I hate going to the hairdressers, get no enjoyment out of it at all and I find it a massive hassle.”

Murray recalled, “But my wife is often nagging me to go to the hairdressers and I just tell her if she wants me to get it cut, then she can cut it. And it took like an hour and 15 minutes and I was like, ‘This should be max 20 minutes for me, I’m not doing that again.’ So then she just started doing it with the clippers and the scissors.”

Reviewing his wife’s skills, the Brit said he would notice 4-5 strands longer than the others a few days after his haircut. He also explained that though Kim is not a trained hairdresser, she does a decent job. The two-time Wimbledon Championships winner also revealed his post-match routine involving Shakira.

When Denis Shapovalov asked Murray what his comfort song is when he loses a match, Murray answered that, win or lose, there is one song that he can always count on. It is ‘Try Everything’ from the Zootopia album released in 2016. Coincidentally, 2016 is also the year Murray has won the most titles in his career.

Murray won 9 singles titles, including 3 ATP Masters 1000 titles, one Grand Slam, and one Olympic medal. The British champion also named Gerry Cinnamon’s Canter from the album The Bonny released in 2020 as his go-to song. The year haunted most of the population, and Canter is a song that fills one with hope and motivation.

The US Open champion repeatedly confirmed that he already has a retirement date in his mind. Murray has been looking for a perfect farewell, though it is hard for a champion to call it quits after dedicating a significant part of their life to the game. But hanging racket is inevitable, and Murray has his eyes on the Paris Olympics. Given his record at the Olympics, Murray has a fair chance to succeed at the event.
