The sporting legend - who is a part-time coach for Jack Draper - is teaming up with his brother Jamie Murray for a new YouTube series, The Set, and admitted the idea of being able to do what he wanted on camera was much more appealing than offering punditry on major tournaments.
He told Telegraph Sport: “I just have always found tennis commentary and coverage to be quite down the middle. I don’t necessarily find it that interesting or that insightful. It’s not something that I really fancy doing, unless it was done in a very different way, and I don’t necessarily think that would happen at Wimbledon.
“Whereas, with The Set, we have total flexibility about when we film stuff, we know which hours we work, and there’s no restrictions on what we can and can’t do. If I’m doing an interview in front of the camera, I’ve never really enjoyed it that much, but the YouTube stuff I’ve done – whether it be with [golf influencers] the Fore Bros, or Ian Poulter, or Kevin Pietersen – has been fun.”
However, Andy's own children - Sophia, 10, Edie, nine, Teddy, seven, and five-year-old Lola - are unlikely to see the show because he and wife Kim Sears prefer to restrict their screen time and keep them active.
He said: “My kids don’t really watch YouTube and stuff. We try and keep them off screens as much as we can, try and keep them outside, running around, playing sports and being active. They all like different stuff. Some of them do a bit of athletics, and they do all the school sports, like hockey, netball, cricket, a bit of football.”
