I Am More Comfortable in Sportswear Than ‘Getting Dressed Up’ – Andy Murray

Finding his fashion feet: Murray says he’s ‘definitely more comfortable in sportswear’ but has learned to enjoy ‘getting dressed up’ in recent years.

‘I’m definitely more comfortable on the tennis court in sportswear! But it’s nice to have a change every now and then and get dressed up.

I’m developing my own sportswear line with Castore, and so looking at design and fashion is something I’m having to do as part of that process, and I’m finding it really interesting.’

You seem to be up for a laugh on social media – there’s been photos of teddies, giant lilos and even your wedding in emojis – how much do you enjoy it?

I do enjoy it – I like to be able to connect with my fans and it’s great for me when I’m travelling to be able to keep up with what my friends and family are doing. I also follow other sportsmen and women and my favourite teams too. Obviously, there can be nasty and negative comments, but I don’t waste time on those.
