Andy Murray holds retirement party at £5m mansion as Henman spills the beans – EXCLUSIVE
Andy Murray hosted an exclusive retirement party for his family and close friends just a week after stepping away from tennis, with Wimbledon hero Tim Henman one of the lucky names on the guest list.
After bidding an emotional farewell out on the clay court, the 37-year-old returned to his £5million mansion in Surrey, where he resides with his wife Kim and four children, as he gets a feel for life after hanging up his racket.
Murray hasn’t long been retired from tennis following his exit with Dan Evans from the Olympics doubles tournament in Paris, with the pair losing to Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul after a magical run to the quarter-finals at Roland Garros.
Given how they performed, there may have been suggestions Murray could regret his decision to retire. But Henman has dismissed any notion that Murray is having thoughts about quitting tennis, revealing that he is at peace with his decision.
“I actually saw him on Friday, he had a sort of a retirement bash for about 30 people at his house with Kim and his family,” Henman told Express Sport. “He was in great form there and I think he appreciates that this is absolutely the right time for him to stop.
“He’s overcome so many challenges physically over the last few years and hopefully now, there’s a time for him to reflect a little bit and look back on what a phenomenal career he’s had, the achievements and tournaments he won, everything that goes with it.
