Former World No.1 Andy Murray is slowly but surely adjusting to life after tennis. The 37-year-old retired at the Paris Olympics earlier this month after competing in men’s doubles with Dan Evans.

Before leaving the Philippe Chatrier Court, the British icon was seen in tears as his retirement loomed. However, Murray is gradually adjusting to his new life by first taking up a new sport, golf. Additionally, he is also looking to improve his appearance, as he recently shared an update on his Instagram account.

I knew retirement was going to hit me hard.

Murray has yet to share his future plans after retiring from tennis, though he has dropped a few hints. The British legend has already mentioned that he wants to remain involved in the sport in some capacity. He is the second player from the Big 4 era to retire, following Roger Federer, who stepped away from the game at the 2022 Laver Cup, where Murray was also present.

Was Andy Murray as good as the Big 3?

Andy Murray will go down as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. However, at the same time, he may also be considered one of the unluckiest players, as he hit his prime during the era of the Big 3 (Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic).

The big question is whether the former British No. 1 was as good as his three great rivals during his prime. The answer seems to divide opinion, but fans can only consider where Murray stood before he suffered a devastating hip injury in the middle of 2017.

Before the hip injury, Murray was ranked World No. 1 and was the defending Wimbledon champion. It was only after the hip injury that his form never returned to the level that made him a three-time Grand Slam champion.

Moreover, Murray has won seven of the nine Masters 1000 titles in his career, only missing out on winning Monte Carlo and Indian Wells. Only Djokovic and Federer have achieved that feat. Murray also managed to win the Olympic Singles Gold medal twice, something no other member of the Big 4 has managed to do.
