Andy Murray rejects career switch as he doubles down after Olympics retirement
Andy Murray has admitted he is yet to decide what to do next in his career after his retirement from tennis was made official following his exit from the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
The 37-year-old made it to the quarter-finals of the men’s doubles with his partner Dan Evans for Team GB, before they were beaten 6-2, 6-4 by USA pair Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul on Thursday.
That defeat signalled the end of Murray’s illustrious 19-year career in tennis, in which he won three Grand Slams and two gold medals at the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympics.
Speculation was rife that Murray could return to Wimbledon, where he won two of his Majors in 2013 and 2016, in the commentary box as part of BBC’s coverage in the future.
But the Scot has poured cold water on any suggestions he could be a pundit, admitting he “didn’t really enjoy it” his previous experience of commentating on tennis on a match between Rafael Nadal and Juan Martin Del Potro.
