Edging Closer to Retirement, 36-Year-Old Andy Murray Hopes To Emulate $111,00,000 Serena Williams’ Whopping Success in Life After Tennis

After accomplishing an unprecedented feat in the tennis world, Sir Andy Murray may have other ideas up his sleeve. The 36-year-old has taken a step into the business sector to prepare for the next phase of his highly accomplished career. And seeing him getting ready to take on a new role, his manager feels that he can do something similar to what the WTA legend, Serena Williams, did in her business venture.

When it comes to Murray’s future, his manager believes that earning money isn’t his top priority, but being enthusiastic about and working towards a goal is. And to prove this right, he might be on his way to creating something as great as Serena Ventures to help other people around him.

While the 36-year-old tennis player is still quite active in the tennis arena, he is also focusing on creating a secure future. Apart from working on his tennis talent, he is working on his venture capital endeavors to lend a hand to British startups, just like the 23-time Grand Slam champion’s firm that helps fund startups in America.

The three-time Grand Slam champion shares a long association with Seedrs, which is a UK crowdfunding platform. Along with that, during his association, he has also invested in a wide range of British startups. Recently, in an interview with High Life, his manager shared Murray’s business ambition, pointing out how he is ready to follow in the footsteps of the American tennis legend to create something great in the business arena.

His long-term manager, Matt Gentry, believes that this is the area where the British tennis player could develop with time. Just like the way Serena Ventures VC Fund, which was launched in 2017, created a place for early business investments. He added, “There’s no reason he couldn’t do something like that, given the sort of credibility he has in the early-stage space.” Earlier this year, Serena Ventures raised around $111,00,000 to help various startups in America.

While the British tennis player is looking up to Williams as a powerful businesswoman. On the other hand, the 23-time Grand Slam champion considers Murray one of the toughest competitors on the tennis court. She once made a bizarre admission regarding how she would face defeat in a matter of minutes.

When fanboy Murray wanted to play a match against Williams

The 36-year-old British tennis star expressed interest in playing an exhibition match against Williams in 2013, according to BBC Sport. He added that there won’t be a problem because Martina Navratilova and Jimmy Connors have already faced off in a match at the Tennis Arena.

However, the 41-year-old American tennis legend was taken aback upon hearing this invitation. She also declined his offer to go on the Late Show with David Letterman the same year. Williams continued by saying that if she ever played him, she wouldn’t survive longer than 10 minutes and would lose with a score of 6-0, 6-0.

Despite declining Murray’s invitation, in 2019, they choose to play mixed doubles together at Wimbledon. It was surely one of the most memorable moments in Wimbledon history.
