Andy Murray just retired from the sport and has been enjoying some well-deserved sweet treats
Judy Murray has shared a video of her son, Andy Murray, eating a donut following his retirement from tennis.
Andy, 37, played the final match in his last ever tournament on Thursday (1 August), when he and Dan Evans were comprehensively defeated 6-2, 6-4 by USA’s Tommy Paul and Taylor Fritz in the quarter-finals of the men’s doubles competition in the Paris Olympics. The match brought the curtain down on a glittering 20-year career, across which Andy has won three Grand Slam titles and two Olympic gold medals.
Judy, 64 – who coached her son in his early years – has now shared a clip on X of her son indulging in some well-earned sweet treats while watching the women’s gymnastics. She captioned her post, “When you can finally eat whatever you want……” and added a donut emoji and a pig emoji at the end.
In an interview with Eurosport, Murray said he was “just looking forward to what’s next now”, and revealed he had received a message from Bjorn Borg. “He said, ‘Congrats to one of the all-time greats, good luck for what’s next,’” said Andy.
To coincide with Andy’s retirement, his wife Kim gave an interview to The Telegraph, in which she admitted it had been “hard work” living with her husband through his injuries over the years.
“It was very hard living with him throughout it,” she said. “I was trying to bring up a small child and he was genuinely miserable. He was in pain. Just walking the dog was awful. And I found it awful too, because it was such hard work.”
Andy began dating Kim in 2005, the daughter of player-turned-coach Nigel Sears. The couple announced their engagement in 2014, marrying the following year. They share four children.
