Following his retirement from professional tennis last year, Andy Murray anticipated a relaxing 2025. However, the 38-year-old’s plans for some well-deserved downtime haven’t quite materialised as expected.

The two-time Wimbledon champion has remained remarkably active both on and off court. Beyond moving into coaching, he has pursued various sporting interests, while also making appearances in theatres and on television. Here’s what Murray’s 2025 has looked like:

Partnership with Djokovic

In a stunning collaboration, Murray agreed to coach Serbian tennis ace Novak Djokovic towards the end of last year, a partnership that extended well into 2025. Under Murray’s guidance, Djokovic reached the Australian Open semi-finals.

However, form subsequently declined, leading to the partnership’s conclusion in May 2025. Reflecting on the decision, Djokovic remarked: “Thank you, coach Andy, for all the hard work, fun and support over last six months on and off the court – really enjoyed deepening our friendship together.”

Murray has since spoken candidly about coaching his former rival, acknowledging his frustration with the outcomes. He commented: “I was disappointed. Probably didn’t get the results I would have liked for him.

“But it was a good opportunity because I felt I wanted to coach at some stage and if I didn’t take it I might look back and think, ‘It would have been really interesting, I could have learned a lot’, or potentially regretted it.

“It was going well initially, and it was unfortunate what happened in Australia with the injury, but I watched him play ridiculous tennis in that tournament.”

“After the injury, it was certainly a difficult few months for him, but also I think for the team and all of us. I learned a lot about what coaching is. I was fully invested, tried my hardest to help, and made some good relationships along the way with his team.”

TV advert banned

Beyond the tennis court, Murray has explored various business ventures. He previously appeared in an Uber Eats advertising campaign during the Australian Open.

The commercial showed the former tennis champion being abducted by delivery drivers, who then tried to deliver him to a customer. Murray, however, managed to escape his captors, with the advert emphasising the company’s promise to ‘get almost anything delivered… including one of the greatest players of all time’.

The advert, however, attracted complaints from viewers who felt it portrayed kidnapping and violence. Thankfully, Murray’s second foray into advertising proved more fruitful.

Earlier this month, he was unveiled as the inaugural brand ambassador for Scottish biscuit manufacturer, Walker’s Shortbread.

Theatre Tour

After announcing his Centre Stage Tour last year, the much-anticipated event finally got underway in June, offering fans a unique glimpse into his illustrious career.

The tour concluded with a sold-out performance at the New Wimbledon Theatre during the summer, attracting a host of famous faces for its final night, including Clare Balding and Gareth Southgate, among others.

New addition to the Murray family

In addition to his professional commitments, Murray also expanded his family alongside his wife, Kim. Already parents to four children, they welcomed a new canine companion into their home.

Sharing the news on Instagram, Murray posted a picture of himself with the flat-coated retriever, captioning it: “New addition to the family”.

This heartwarming announcement followed shortly after he revealed the sad news that the family’s beloved border terrier, Rusty, had passed away. In a touching tribute, he wrote: “You were the most loyal and protective companion our family could have wished for. You were so patient and gentle with the kids, and we all learned so much from you. The house feels empty without you in it.

“The noise you made when you wanted a plate to lick or a biscuit to chew on or when you wanted anything for that matter was infuriating at times! But today we would do anything to hear it again,” ending his post with a ‘heartbroken’ emoji.

Golf rollercoaster

Murray seems to be exploring a variety of other sports since hanging up his tennis racket, with golf being the main focus. In 2025, he participated in several high-profile pro-am events, including the BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am.

Murray also competed in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship back in October. However, Storm Amy had different plans, causing players to abandon the courses due to adverse weather conditions. The tournament was ultimately called off.
