TENNIS legend Andy Murray has announced his next career move – and fans will be thrilled.
Murray, 37, retired from professional tennis in August following a swansong at the Paris Olympics.
The Scot has since been enjoying his free time and recently took up golf as a new hobby.
But he will take centre stage next year in a new theatre tour.
Spanning four dates across London and Scotland, Murray’s ‘Centre Stage’ tour will see him look back over his illustrious career.
He will reveal new anecdotes and the innermost details of a life lived on the ATP Tour.
The show is set to be hosted by BBC sports broadcaster Andrew Cotter, who already has an excellent rapport with the tennis legend.
Theatre goers will be asked to leave their phones at the door for the intimate shows which will allow rare access to one of the UK’s most beloved athletes.
Discussing his upcoming tour, Murray said: “After I retired this summer, I wanted to try some different things.
“I don’t think a tennis player has done anything like this before so it felt like a great challenge for me.
Murray’s tour dates
- Wednesday 18 June – SEC Armadillo, Glasgow
- Thursday 19 June – Edinburgh Playhouse
- Saturday 21 June – Eventim Apollo, London
- Sunday 29 June – New Wimbledon Theatre, London
“I haven’t stepped on a tennis court for a long time, so hopefully my fans will enjoy seeing me in this new setting.”
The tour will run for just four nights in June 2025 throughout the UK grass court season, starting in the city of Murray’s birth, Glasgow.
It will conclude at the New Wimbledon Theatre – on the eve of the Wimbledon Championships.
Tickets will go on sale on Thursday, November 14.
