Two weeks after ending his tennis career, Andy Murray joked that retirement has hit him hard. Following an exciting double act with Dan Evans at the Olympics, the Scot put down his racket.
Murray has already made some hints about his future career after retiring from tennis. Following their defeat in the Wimbledon doubles with brother Jamie, the 37-year-old suggested that he might become a coach.
Just hours after losing at the Olympics, Murray joked on social media that he never really liked tennis anyway and disclosed that he is now playing more golf.
However, Murray is missing tennis, and in an Instagram post, he joked that retirement is just as challenging as he thought it would be. The two-time Wimbledon champion uploaded a photo of himself to Instagram with a face mask on and a blank expression on his face.
Murray captioned: “I knew retirement was going to hit me hard.”
Murray finished his career with 46 career titles, two Olympic gold medals, and three Grand Slams—two at Wimbledon and one at the US Open. He had declared earlier in the year that he would retire in the summer and then clarified later that he would leave the court following the Olympics.
