Andy is about to play his final Olympics in Paris.
“A couple of months ago… I was unsure about when I wanted to finish – or if I wanted to finish,” he tells me. “[But] as I sit here today, I’m really happy about it.”
Helping push gender equality in tennis “wasn’t something I’d given much thought to,”
But when he took on a female coach, Amélie Mauresmo, he says “there was a big change in attitude” from players and beyond. “It was quite eye-opening for me.”
The 1996 Dunblane massacre is the deadliest mass shooting in British history. @andy_murray was a young schoolboy there, “it was obviously an unbelievably difficult time.” The town, he adds, has “never fully recovered, but has become stronger through that.”
British crowds now love @andy_murray, but he faced his fair share of hostility – as many of Britain’s teams do across different sports. “I’m not sure” why that’s the case, Murray tells me. “It’s definitely there and for sure, the athletes, they feel that.”
“You’re playing for something just bigger than yourself. And I’ve really enjoyed that," as he looks ahead to his fifth - and final - appearance at the Olympics.
“Being part of a huge team and representing your country… I’ve always fed off that,” he says. “You’re playing for something just bigger than yourself.”
“Mentally, I still feel young, but physically, you know, the last few years have been really hard for me.”
