Andy Murray reveals placing tennis in the backseat for a couple of weeks after Wimbledon win

Wimbledon 2013 champion Andy Murray revealed that he spent about two weeks after the grasscourt Slam event just forgetting about tennis and spending more time with the people that matter to his life.

“I spent two days inside my house and I didn’t come out,” he said in an interview with Daily Mail. “I was just with my girlfriend and my dogs, I was getting followed everywhere so I just stayed inside. On the Thursday evening I went out in Wimbledon Village with a few friends for a Thai meal.”

Murray then spent quality time with his girlfriend Kim Sears in the Bahamas. Afterwards, he resumed tennis training at his base in Miami, Florida as he prepares for the North American hardcourt season. His first tournament since Wimbledon will be the Montreal Masters 2013 which begins this week.

“I want to try and win another Grand Slams, I want to try and win as many as I can,” he said. “It took me a long time to win my first one and I want to give myself another opportunity at the US Open. I had a talk with my team about that a few days ago.”

Murray is a two-time champion at the Rogers Cup – in 2009 and 2010.
