Andy Murray has been busy since hanging up his tennis racket, which he did after his 2024 Paris Olympics exit.

Murray retired at the age of 37 as a three-time Grand Slam champion, winning Wimbledon twice and the US Open once.

He also managed to make it all the way to the top of the ATP Tour rankings, and clinched 46 titles overall during his fantastic career.

Not long after his retirement, Murray shocked the tennis world by linking up with his former rival Novak Djokovic in a coaching capacity.

The pair parted ways after around six months of working together, with Djokovic still active and chasing further success at the Australian Open.

Andy Murray names Roger Federer as his dream padel partner

Murray has instead been focusing his efforts on other sports, with padel currently keeping the 38-year-old busy.

The Scot has now revealed all about his latest hobby, having been asked several questions by Advantage Padel.

When asked who his dream padel partner would be, the former British number one simply responded: “Roger Federer.”

He was also asked for his favorite sport right now between padel and tennis, to which he replied: “I play more padel than tennis now. So it’s got to be padel.”

And sharing what padel means to him, Murray said: “Padel for me is sociable. That’s why I play the game now, because I get to spend time with my friends. It’s also very healthy. Promotes an active lifestyle. So yeah, that’s why I love it.”

What was the head-to-head record between Andy Murray and Roger Federer?

Murray is more than likely a top talent on the padel courts, just as he was during his fantastic tennis career.

But he’s also taken up golf rather seriously since retiring from tennis, appearing in various pro-am tournaments in recent times.

His former rival and dream padel partner Federer is also an avid golfer, recently playing with ATP Tour number one Carlos Alcaraz.
