Sir Andy Murray will be tuning into the action at Wimbledon this week for the first time since hanging up his racket last year.
But the two-time champion is still sure to be heavily invested in the action from SW19, even if he doesn't plan to attend in person. Murray, 38, recently told The Guardian he has no intention to attend the tournament unless his children fancy taking in the sights. But in his stead, British compatriot Emma Raducanu will look to mimic her former mentor as she looks to best last year's fourth-round finish.
Raducanu and Murray represent two different generations of British tennis that were set to mix before last year's doubles debacle. Wales Online dissects the current status of their relationship, along with Murray's net worth with wife Kim and how it's been affected in light of one costly investment.
Emma Raducanu relationship
Raducanu, 22, couldn't possibly have envisioned just what an impact she would have had on Murray's retirement from tennis. And yet that ended up being one of the main headlines at Wimbledon 2024 after the pair were pencilled in to compete in the mixed doubles event.
That was until Raducanu, who was making good progress in the women's singles, complained of stiffness in her wrist and withdrew from the draw. And in the process, she inadvertently brought the curtain down on Murray's Wimbledon career in flat fashion.
Murray's mum and former coach, Judy, described the situation as "astonishing" on social media before claiming that comment was made in jest. And while Murray has remained largely quiet on the incident, Raducanu has repeatedly said she has apologised to her countryman and still feels regret.

Raducanu has said she hopes there's no "bad blood" between her and Murray

"I hope he's forgiven me for last year, I still feel bad about it," she said at this year's French Open. "I'm looking forward to seeing him around and having a conversation.
"I think he would give great advice, he's been in a similar situation and would probably understand a lot of things that I'm also going through. But as to anything more, I don't know, that's very far out of thought."
Speaking at the Australian Open in January, Raducanu reaffirmed Murray as someone she's "grown up looking up to." Furthermore, she hoped there was "no bad blood" between the two, though one could understand Murray being upset at how his Wimbledon exit was thrust upon him.
One might also forgive there being some tensions between the two parties after Raducanu sacked Nigel Sears in the summer of 2021. That wouldn't usually have any impact on the Murrays, were it not for the fact Nigel is the father of Andy's wife, Kim.
Net worth with wife Kim

In addition to the £47million or so he won playing on the ATP Tour, Murray has inflated his earnings with a long list of sponsorships and endorsements. One might think the Scot's salary would therefore drop off in retirement, and yet Murray's net worth has in fact moved in the opposite direction.
That's after he maintained his spot on this year's edition of the Sunday Times Rich List. The Glaswegian was ranked as the 35th richest sportsperson in Britain back in May, boasting a staggering valuation of £110m.
Retirement or not, that figure represented a £10m increase from 12 months prior, suggesting he's hardly struggling since taking his leave of the sport. It was announced in May 2025 that Murray had made a more formal move into the world of business after becoming an associate partner at Redrice Ventures.
He has also pumped money into other ventures like Game4Padel, a padel court operator, and crowdfunding business Seedrs. That's in addition to his stake in sportswear giant Castore, who sponsored him towards the end of his career, and sports tech outfit TMRW Sports, among others.
But there's more to the Murray empire than Andy himself. And wife Kim has a certain amount of sway in his affairs after the couple purchased the Cromlix Hotel in December 2022.

A decade has passed since Andy and Kim held their wedding reception at the five-star Cromlix Hotel in Dunblane. And the couple were apparently so impressed by the venue that they decided to just buy it outright.
The Murrays shelled out a mighty £1.8m to purchase the 10-bedroom, 34-acre property almost three years ago. Cromlix also houses five suites, a one bedroom lodge, its own private chapel, tennis court, pickleball court, as well as an award-winning restaurant.
Yet the hotel, which charges between £350 and £950 per night and won the AA Hotel of the Year award for Scotland, posted a loss of £369,045 for the year ending March 2024. That's according to CityAM, which clarified those figures were still an improvement on the losses posted in the previous financial year.

And Murray's wife, Kim, has been described as the "creative force" behind their renovation project, which has the potential to be a big money-maker for the couple. While she may have no formal education in the industry, Murray's fairer half is thought to be quite the dab hand in promoting their Dunblane enterprise.
"We'd finished having children and we'd finished building our house, so it seemed the perfect time," she told Country Living magazine when asked about the motivation to invest in a site close to their hearts. "Having little kids has been all-consuming.
"Renovating the hotel has enabled me to come out of motherhood and create something different. I think of it as a family project. Maybe in 15 years, the kids will be interested in it. I want to see where it takes us."

‘Dangerous' Wimbledon spectator removed after Yulia Putintseva reports ‘crazy' behaviour
Kazakhstan's Yulia Putintseva asked for a spectator to be removed after expressing concerns about their behaviour during her first-round match at Wimbledon. At the start of her match against American Amanda Anisimova on Court 15, the 30-year-old approached the umpire to report the spectator, describing the person as "crazy" and "dangerous." "Can you take him out, I am not going to continue playing until he leaves. These people are dangerous, they are crazy," Putintseva said on court, according to the BBC. It was not immediately clear what action was taken regarding the spectator, but play resumed after the chair umpire consulted security personnel. A visibly emotional Putintseva lost 6-0 6-0 in a match lasting only 44 minutes. "Following a complaint about the behaviour of a spectator at the match on Court 15, the chair umpire informed security and the matter was dealt with," a spokesperson for All England Lawn Tennis Club said. Putintseva did not speak to the media after her defeat. The world No 27 is a three-time grand slam quarter-finalist. Anisimova, meanwhile, told the BBC she believed the spectator had been saying something "when [Putintseva] was about to serve" and added: "I am sure that we were protected".

Wimbledon Day Two Schedule - Draper begins title bid with Djokovic in action
Jack Draper is the best hope of a British winner at Wimbledon and he'll begin his tournament at SW19 late on Tuesday having been scheduled for the final game on Court One Jack Draper will begins his bid for Wimbledon glory on Court One with the highest ranked Brit last up on Tuesday. The fourth seed arrives having made the last four at Queen's and will take on Argentine Sebastian Baez. It is one of the harder draws Draper, who made the last four at the US Open last year, could've been handed given Baez is ran ked 38th in the world. The 23-year-old will have to spend the day waiting with two matches before him on Court One on Day Two. Italy's World No 1 Jannik Sinner is first up before previous champion Petro Kvitova takes on 10th seed Emma Navarro from America. Centre Court, which many would've expected to see Draper playing on, is occupied by a host of champions. Women's singles winner from 12 months ago, Barbora Krejcikova, is first up before Novak Djokovic begins his bid for another title at SW19. Coco Gauff, fresh from winning the French Open, is also on Centre. Draper leads the British charge at the All England Club but he has plenty of his compatriots also in action. On Court 3 Johannus Monday will face American Tommy Paul, who is ranked 13th. Heather Watson starts proceedings on Court 12 before an all-British affair featuring Dan Evans and Jay Clarke. Jodie Burrage is third up on Court 18 whilst Jack Pinnington Jones, the 22-year-old from Kingston, is also in action on the outside courts. Draper meanwhile has welcomed his rise to be British tennis' headline attraction as he looks to make an impact on home soil for the first time. For so many years Andy Murray was the man who captured the nation's attention with Draper more than happy to fill the void. 'It's very nice when people reach out,' he said. 'I think within British tennis, especially, people know the work I've been through, the adversity I've gone through with injuries, the type of person I am where I'm always wanting to progress. I'm always wanting to understand how I can be better as a player.' Draper has only made it past the fourth round of a Grand Slam once and that came last year in New York, before his journey was ended by eventual champion Sinner. He will have been disappointed by his premature exit recently at the French Open. The Brits best effort on home soil so far is the second round - which he reached last year and in 2022. He arrived as the 28th seed 12 months ago but Draper was beaten by compatriot Cam Norrie, who ousted him in straight sets.

Princess Kate's classy gesture and message to Wimbledon star who asked for hug
Kate Middleton has been tasked with handing out the trophies in the Wimbledon final in recent years and after losing in 2023 Ons Jabeur was happy to receive a hug from the Princess of Wales Ons Jabeur was almost inconsolable after losing the Wimbledon final in 2023 but Kate Middleton provided a much needed shoulder on Centre Court as she was tasked with handing out the winner's and the runner-up trophies. Jabeur came out second best in two consecutive Wimbledon finals as she was beaten by Elena Rybakina in 2022 and then Marketa Vondrousova a year later. Sandwiched in between that was a US Open final loss and the near misses were beginning to stack up. The Tunisian cut an emotional figure but one of the country's most loved women was on hand. The 28-year-old was consoled by the Princess of Wales after she presented her with the runners-up prize for the second straight year as the pair shared a long chat. Jabeur later admitted that the Princess wasn't sure whether she should go in for the hug but she was more than happy to have an embrace as Kate told her to return and go that one step further. The Tunisian said: "Obviously she was very nice. She didn't know if she wants to give me a hug or not. I told her hugs are always welcome from me." When asked what was said in their conversation Jabeur added: "Same thing after last year. To encourage me to be strong, to come back and win a Grand Slam, win a Wimbledon." On the loss she added: "This is very tough. It's the most painful loss of my career. It's painful because you feel so close to achieving something that you want, and actually back to square one. I felt a lot of pressure, a lot of stress. But, like every final, like every match, I was telling myself, 'It's OK, it's normal'. "I honestly did nothing wrong. I did everything that I could. I think things take time with me. It wasn't meant to be this time. Definitely this match, last year's match, the final of the US Open, will teach me how to win these finals. "I will definitely keep learning, keep being positive. I think that's the thing that will keep me going. Otherwise, if I'm going to be depressed about it, it's not going to help much." Kate Middleton has endured her health problems after being diagnosed with career, later undergoing chemotherapy, but the love of the nation was clear when she made only her second public appearance of the year at Wimbledon last year, where she was greeted by a standing ovation. There is no suggestion she won't attend Wimbledon this year despite skipping Royal Ascot.
