Speaking to the Gentleman’s Journal, he said: "I love sport, so something else that would interest me post-playing would be working in another sport.
"I got asked about this a little while ago and, because I really like golf, being a caddie on a golf tour would be exciting - to be up close and personal with top golfers and to learn about another sport like that.
"There's probably also some crossover between tennis and golf on the mental side and things, and helping a golfer with that might be interesting.

Murray added: "For the first two months of lockdown all of my training was done at home. I was doing a lot of cardio work and, for the first time in my life, I did some road biking.
"To begin with, I got a bike just to be able to go out and exercise. But I got quite into it. I really enjoyed it.
"I actually think, when I finish playing tennis, cycling is something I want to do more of. I live 20 minutes south of Wimbledon in Surrey. So I cycled around Box Hill, where they did some of the Olympic road racing.
