Andy Murray reveals plans to be a 'good dad' and be at home for his kids and wife after Paris Olympics 2024, Brit's final tournament

Andy Murray revealed the goals he wants to achieve after his campaign at the 2024 Paris Olympics which included being a 'good dad' and being there for his family. The Brit confirmed earlier that the Summer Games will be his final dance.

Murray, who has been struggling with multiple injuries for the past few years, had hinted that he didn't see himself continuing after the Olympics early on in the year amidst his poor run of form. The Brit confirmed at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships that it was going to be the final Grand Slam campaign of his career. He participated in men's doubles alongside his brother Jamie Murray but the duo were defeated in the opening round following which an emotional ceremony was held to celebrate the two-time champion's career.

After his campaign at SW19, the three-time Grand Slam champion headed to Paris for the Olympics and confirmed in an Instagram post that it would be the final tournament of his career.

Team Great Britain did a TikTok challenge recently where Andy Murray was asked by a fan what his sporting or life goals were after his final dance at the Paris Olympics. The Brit said that his sporting goal would be to try and become better at golf.

"So my sporting and life goals after the Olympics are, I would like to try and become a scratch golfer and that's my sporting goal."

The 37-year-old then said that he wanted to be a good dad and be there for his four children while they were still growing up. He also mentioned that he wanted to be there for his wife as well.

"And then yeah, life goes, try and be, yeah try to be a good dad. Be home as much as I can for my kids while they're still growing up, be around for my wife, and yeah that's what I am most looking forward to."

"I forgot what I was actually there to do, which was to try to win a medal for my country" - Andy Murray on his first Olympic appearance in 2008

Andy Murray opened up about his experience at the 2008 Beijing Olympics which was his Olympic debut. He called it the biggest learning experience of his career and admitted that the moment got to him.

The Brit said that the magnitude of the Olympics made him forget that he was there to win a medal.

"I learned loads from the Beijing 2008 Olympics. It was one of the biggest learning experiences of my career. I got swept up in the whole event. I went to the Opening Ceremony, and it went on late. I was sweating bullets. It was callous conditions, and I forgot what I was actually there to do, which was to try to win a medal for my country," Murray said (via ITF).

However, that learning experience helped him a lot as Murray went on to become the only male to win the gold medal in singles twice (2012 and 2016).
