Murray, who recently retired from professional tennis after the Paris Olympics, posted on his official account on the social media platform Instagram that his wife had won an award and congratulated her. "At least someone in the family can still win stuff. Congrats to my wife and all the team @cromlixhotel for winning the AA Hotel of the year award for Scotland. Not sure what's going on with her nose here,” he wrote.

Murray’s career finally came to an end after the mega-event in the French capital earlier this year, where he participated in the doubles event with Dan Evans. The pair was eventually knocked out in the quarterfinal as they lost to the pair of America’s Tommy Paul and Taylor Fritz in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-4.

The Glasgow-born star has struggled with fitness concerns throughout his career. It was because of this reason he announced retirement from professional tennis back in 2018 just after the Australian Open. However, he miraculously returned to the court soon after and continued to play for a long time. Earlier this year, Murray announced that he would consider retiring after playing Wimbledon at home and Paris Olympics.

The former world number was also due to take part in the doubles category, but his partner, Emma Raducanu, was forced to withdraw from the event because of a wrist injury.
