Andy Murray, once the world’s top tennis player, may have stepped away from the professional court, but his presence in the sport remains strong. After retiring following the Paris Olympics, the 38-year-old shocked fans by taking on a new role as coach to his former rival, Novak Djokovic.
The unexpected partnership will kick off ahead of the Australian Open, with tennis followers eager to see how two legends with a combined 145 singles titles will work together.
Murray hasn’t let retirement slow him down. Alongside coaching, he has explored fresh opportunities, including starring in a high-energy TV advert filmed in Melbourne, where he plays an action hero. Away from the cameras, the Scot has devoted time to improving his golf game, debuting at the BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am and even winning the BTJA Mike Dickson Golf Day. Though he admits the nerves in golf differ from tennis, he’s determined to push towards a scratch handicap.
His personal life has also had its ups and downs. Murray married Kim Sears in 2015, after nearly a decade of dating. The couple now share four children but endured a rocky period back in 2009 that briefly saw them part ways.
They reconciled soon after, and Murray often credits Kim as his rock, praising her quiet support and sacrifices away from the spotlight. Despite her dislike of media attention, she has stood firmly by his side through every stage of his career.
Financially, Murray’s success has been remarkable. With over £50 million earned from prize money alone, including Wimbledon and US Open titles, his net worth is estimated at around £85 million, though some believe it may top £100 million.
Endorsements with global brands such as Jaguar, Under Armour, and American Express further boost his fortune. Alongside luxury properties in Surrey and Miami, Murray and Kim own the Cromlix House Hotel in Dunblane, a lavish Victorian mansion-turned-five-star retreat where they wed. Complete with tennis courts, a private chapel, and fine dining, the estate reflects both Murray’s success and his deep ties to home.
