Andy Murray ended his professional career at the Paris Olympics this summer, saying goodbye to the crowds and once again showing all his love for the sport. No one thought that the Scotsman’s career would last until 2024, considering the serious hip injury that had pushed him almost to retirement in 2019.
The 3-time Grand Slam champion never gave up, pushing his limits and showing the meaning of the word resilience to the whole world. The second part of Andy’s career was not as brilliant as the first, as the former world number 1 became a second-rate player and was no longer able to compete to win the most prestigious titles.
Andy continued to compete as long as his body allowed him, enduring the pain and always getting unconditional help from his family. Another back injury earlier in the summer convinced him to say goodbye to professional tennis and start a new chapter in his life.
Fans and insiders imagined that Murray would take a long rest before finding a new role on the tour, but the Scotsman left everyone speechless. During the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga, Novak Djokovic announced that he had hired Murray as his new coach for the 2025 Australian Open.
To tell the truth, Nole’s was not the only offer Andy received in recent months but he could not decline such an attractive proposal. Everyone is curious to see if the collaboration between these two legends will produce important results, given that the former world number 1 has no experience as a coach at the highest level. The Serbian ace chose him because he needs to find new motivations at this stage of his career, where he is competing with rivals much younger than him.
