Andy Murray has updated his X, formerly Twitter, bio for a second time after his emotional retirement from professional tennis at the 2024 Olympics. The Paris Games are now in the rear mirror, as is Murray’s career on the ATP Tour, but he has wasted no time in continuing his sporting exploits elsewhere.

The 37-year-old played his final professional tennis match at the start of August alongside fellow Brit Dan Evans at Roland Garros.
After entering the men’s doubles, the pair earned two dramatic victories against Japan’s Kei Nishikori and Taro Daniel and Belgium’s Joran Vliegen and Sander Gille.

But they fell to a straight sets defeat to the USA’s Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul in the quarter-finals, drawing the curtains on Murray’s iconic career.
Shortly after Murray bid farewell to the professional game, he updated his X bio from ‘I play tennis’ to ‘I played tennis’.
The three-time Grand Slam champion also accumulated over one million likes with his first post in retirement, writing: “Never even liked tennis anyway.”
Almost two weeks on, Murray has tweaked his bio again, keeping ‘I played tennis’ but adding ‘I now play golf’. He also switched his cover image to a golf course.
The ex-world No. 1 previously stated that he was set to spend more time on the fairway rather than the court after his tennis swansong in the French capital.

Ahead of the 2024 Olympics, he said: “I’ll play a lot of golf – I want to become a scratch golfer.
“I’ve always loved playing golf, but because of the issues with my back, I haven’t played for five or six years.”
And he’s made good on those plans, seemingly switching his allegiance with Evans on the court for a friendly rivalry on the course.
Last week, Murray shared a photo of him swinging a golf club snapped by Evans in a golf buggy, captioned: “Partners last week… opponents today.”

The tennis icon spending his time on the golf course will likely become more of a common sight in the coming years.
One path he isn’t expected to take in retirement is punditry, based on a recent interview with the Sunday Times.
“I’ve done [punditry] before but didn’t particularly enjoy it,” Murray admitted.
“Everyone agrees with each other all the time – there is no needle in the analysis, and I don’t think it’s entertaining or the best for the sport. One thing I like about football is they disagree.”
