After three grand slam titles and two Olympic gold medals, Andy Murray is finally settling into retirement.
Andy Murray ended his glittering career on the stage where he most thrived.
The Olympic Games is where Murray truly enjoyed his tennis, with a win at his home games in London, mere weeks after his defeat in the Wimbledon final, still one of his proudest achievement to date.
The last few years of his career were hampered by back and hip injuries, with the Scot unable to properly find his true level towards the end.
A fitting end to his career in Paris saw Murray and his partner Dan Evans survive numerous match points to reach the quarter-finals.
With a teary goodbye symbolising how much joy he had experienced in his career, Tim Henman recently revealed the one thing about the sport Murray really didn’t enjoy.
Andy Murray might not be taking up tennis punditry anytime soon
Murray’s relationship was a bit of a ‘slow burner’ in some respects with the often blunt humor and dour Dunblane demeanor meaning fans took a while to warm up.
It was his defeat in the 2012 Wimbledon final that saw Murray’s on-court emotions tell the crowd how much tennis meant to him.
Henman however has recently highlighted how Murray’s brief stint as a commentator didn’t appeal to him all that much.
“I have worked with him before, he did some work at Wimbledon, but he has sort of said he didn’t really enjoy that element of tennis,” Henman told The Express.
“It’s such early days, I’m sure because of his love and passion for tennis he’s always going to be around the sport, there are many capacities that he can be involved. We need to be patient and time will tell.”
Andy Murray would definitely be an addition to Wimbledon coverage
Despite this reported reluctance, Murray feels like the perfect person to add yet another layer to Wimbledon’s coverage.
Clearly aiming to diversify their coverage, Ashleigh Barty and Nick Kyrgios were brought in this year, with the Australian duo largely impressing.
Barty specifically was magnificent and as a recent former winner of the championships, she managed to provide a new and compelling style of analysis.
With Murray already having found a new sport after tennis, the Brit is clearly well entitled took his time off.
However, his time at the top and experience competing with current players would surely make him an excellent voice in the commentary box.
