Andy Murray announces Glasgow and Edinburgh shows as part of UK tour

Andy Murray announces Glasgow and Edinburgh shows as part of UK tour

He will speak about everything from his beginnings as a teenage prodigy to winning Wimbledon twice, the US Open and two Olympic titles during his impressive career that saw him go up against the likes of Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal in rivalries that pushed the sport to the next level.

The 37-year-old will discuss his early move to Barcelona at the age of 15 to train at the Sánchez-Casal Academy before turning professional and leaving his mark on a sport, as well as his injury problems that hampered him from becoming even more decorated.

The tour will only be four nights across the UK, with one in Glasgow and one in Edinburgh as part of it. It will run throughout June during the UK grass court season and start in Glasgow before finishing at the New Wimbledon Theatre the night before the Championship begins.

Sir Andy will be joined by BBC broadcaster Andrew Cotter who will host and produce the show, having previously interviewed him on a number of occasions.

Each theatre will only have capacity for a crowd of 3,400 while allow for an intimate event with the Dunblane tennis legend.

Event goers will also be asked to leave their phones at the door for the events to ensure it remains intimate and among the people in attendance.

It starts on Wednesday June 18 at the SEC Armadillo in Glasgow before heading to the Edinburgh playhouse the next night.

Saturday June 21 sees the event taking place in London at the Eventim Apollo before finishing up at the New Wimbledon Theatre on June 29.

Speaking about the Tour, Sir Andy said: “After I retired this Summer, I wanted to try some different things. I don’t think a tennis player has done anything like this before so it felt like a great challenge for me.

“I haven’t stepped on a tennis court for a long time, so hopefully my fans will enjoy seeing me in this new setting”. 

Tickets for the tour will go on sale on Thursday, November 14 at 10am on the Andy Murray website.
