Reflecting on his new role, Murray said: “It’s difficult to step away from a sport like tennis, which has been so all-consuming for me for so long, and then not have anything to fill that void.
“I’ve seen it before with other athletes — when they haven’t had other interests straight after sport, it becomes hard for them to know who they are.
“I’m also only 38 years old, so that’s a long time to be retired.
“My plan was always to spend more time on my other business interests once I’d finished playing tennis, and I’m enjoying starting to work on some of those projects now.
“I think for me it’s the work ethic and single-minded determination to succeed.”;;
