Could Andy Murray have a future in film? The retired British tennis icon might be stepping into the spotlight after a standout performance in a television commercial filmed in Australia.
The three-time Grand Slam champion retired at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he partnered with Dan Evans in the doubles event.
Post-retirement, Murray has explored various pursuits, including participating in golf exhibitions and joining the coaching team of former World No. 1 Novak Djokovic.
Currently in Australia ahead of the 2025 Australian Open, Murray is assisting Djokovic in his preparations for the tournament. However, he took a break from his coaching duties to star in a commercial.
In the ad, Murray portrays an action hero being pursued from a luxury hotel suite in East Melbourne, through bustling city streets, and into a Chinatown restaurant, where he makes a daring escape by diving through the front window—with a likely assist from a stunt double.
The 37-year-old swapped his pristine tennis attire for a mud-stained T-shirt and shorts, embracing his rugged role.
“I’m seeing a different Melbourne this time,” Murray said. “I’ve not been around some of these parts before, and it’s been good fun. It’s a big shoot. I’ve never done anything like this before because I never had the time. But it’s fun to do something like this.”
