Andy Murray has revealed retirement has been “the complete opposite” to what he expected and that he is not missing tennis like he thought he would.
The 37-year-old Briton, a three-time Grand Slam champion, called time on his illustrious 19-year career after the Paris Olympics in August.
Murray underwent a hip resurfacing operation in 2019 and had various injury struggles during the final few years of his career.
“Since I’ve stopped, I feel really free and have got lots of time to do whatever it is I want,” Murray told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
“I can dedicate time to my children and have free time to play golf or go to the gym on my own terms.
“It is really nice and I didn’t expect that. I was expecting to find retirement hard and be missing tennis a lot and wanting to get back on the tennis court on tour.
“So far it has been the complete opposite to what I was thinking.”
The 37-year-old won his first Grand Slam in 2012 at the US Open before ending Britain’s 77-year wait for a men’s Wimbledon champion in 2013 when he defeated Novak Djokovic, before winning it again in 2016.
