Tennis legend Andy Murray has moved away from the sport by taking up a new role as a venture capitalist. The Scot won three Grand Slams in a superb career that saw him go toe-to-toe with the likes of Novak Djokovic , Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, while also winning two Olympic gold medals. Murray finally retired from tennis last year following the Paris Olympic Games and immediately moved into coaching by working with his long-time rival Djokovic. He coached the Serb for less than six months as he oversaw his Australian Open campaign but the former world No 1 was unable to win an event with Murray alongside him and they parted ways last week . Now Murray is exploring a totally different arena outside the court after accepting a job as an associate partner at investment firm Redrice Ventures, with the British star further exploring his business interests. Murray told the Sunday Times it was hard to move away from tennis but said he was always planning on dedicating time to his business interests after he hung up his racquet. He 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." When asked what traits he would share with the company, he added: "I think for me it’s the work ethic and single-minded determination to succeed." Murray has previously worked with Redrice after investing in sportswear company Castore in 2018 and has also built up a property investment portfolio outside of sport. Speaking about Murray joining them, Redrice said he was "still working through his next steps post-tennis, and even this week things have changed as he’s stepped away from coaching Novak, so his time commitment to Redrice will become clearer as the relationship develops". Murray will have much more time on his hands after parting ways with Djokovic, but the Scot was full of praise for his old rival and insisted there was no bad blood. He said: "Thanks to Novak for the unbelievable opportunity to work together, and thanks to his team for all their hard work over the past six months. I wish Novak all the best for the rest of the season."
