Andy Murray has embarked on a new career path since retiring from tennis. The two-time Wimbledon champion has recently ventured into modelling, gracing the October cover of high-end fashion magazine Modern Luxury.
Murray shared images from his photoshoot on Instagram, showcasing his newfound modelling prowess.
In one striking photo, he dons a purple leather jacket, pin-striped t-shirt, and grey trousers, posing in a field-like setting.
Another image features Murray in a light brown long-line jacket, walking confidently in front of a wall, while a third shows him in the water. This unexpected career move comes just weeks after his retirement from tennis following the Olympic doubles tournament.

Murray's foray into modelling draws parallels with fellow British tennis player Jack Draper's experience. Draper, who has previously dabbled in modelling, expressed his enjoyment of the camera's attention.
"I quite enjoy being in front of the camera," Draper told British Vogue in July, adding with a touch of humour: "If I'm looking good, that is."
The 22-year-old has experimented with various looks, stating, "I've done a buzzcut, mohawk, mullet…"
This shared interest in modelling between the two athletes highlights a growing trend of tennis players exploring opportunities beyond the court.

Andy Murray has turned to modelling after his tennis retirement
Since hanging up his racket, Murray has been dedicating more time to his family. The 37-year-old's long-term plan, however, is to transition into coaching.
Murray's retirement came after he and Dan Evans were eliminated in the quarter-finals of the doubles of the Paris Olympics. This marked the end of an illustrious career that saw him win two Wimbledon titles and the US Open back in 2012.
While the 37-year-old has embarked on a new career, Draper is making waves in the tennis world. The young Briton has reached the semi-finals of the US Open, his first Grand Slam final four appearance.

Draper faces Jannik Sinner in the semi-final on Friday aiming to follow in Murray's footsteps by winning the tournament.
"This is not an overnight thing for me," Draper said, reflecting on his journey.

He added: "Last year was a real turning point for me. When I had my injury setbacks I had to watch all of these young amazing players winning amazing tournaments and playing on the biggest stages in the world."
Draper could become the third Briton to win the US Open this century.
Murray achieved the feat back in 2012 when he beat Novak Djokovic in a five-set thriller at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
And Emma Raducanu secured glory three years ago at the tender age of 18.
