ANDY MURRAY is back in Australian Open action as he looks to put last year’s early defeat behind him.
The Scot went crashing out in only the second round during his 2022 campaign courtesy of Japanese ace Taro Daniel.

But he’ll have eyes on the prize this time round as there is a huge chance to boost his bank account balance.
What is Andy Murray’s net worth?
Andy’s total net worth is estimated to be in the region of £130million.
In 2016 alone he won 78 matches, including nine titles and reached the final of three Grand Slam tournaments, earning him prize money numbering £10.8 million.
When he won Wimbledon for the first time in 2013, he was the first British player to do so since Fred Perry back in 1936.
Murray likes to invest his money in property and currently lives in a mansion in Oxshott, Surrey, which cost over £5m when he bought it in 2009.

He made a tidy profit from his luxury Miami flat which he sold in 2016 after deciding to spend more time in the UK following the birth of his daughter in February 2016 – he is estimated to have netted a profit of £1million.
If you fancy a bit of the Murray luxury yourself you can book a room at his 19th century luxury boutique hotel, where he and Kim Sears held their wedding reception in 2015.
Just outside his hometown of Dunblane, he bought Cromlix House in 2013, and the cheapest double room will set you back £220 a night.

When is Andy Murray planning to retire?
Speaking in a press conference before the 2019 Australian Open, Murray opened up about his retirement plans.
The 31-year-old, who is a two-time Wimbledon champion, got emotional when speaking, admitting he was “in pain daily.”
He said: “I’m not feeling good.
“Obviously I’ve been struggling for a long time. I have been in a lot of pain for probably about 20 months now.
“I’m in a better place than I was six months ago, but still in a lot of pain. Yeah, it has been tough.”
“In the middle to the end of December in my training block, I spoke to my team, and I told them ‘I cannot keep doing this’.
But Murray has yet to call it a day, and has competed at numerous tournaments since that infamous presser in Melbourne.

What sponsorship deals does Andy Murray have?
The prize money that Andy wins over the course of a year are only part of the Scot’s earnings though.
His sponsorship deals are where he can really top up his bank account and his off court earning potential has soared this year.
He has contracts with TRR Nutrition, Head and clothing brand Castore, having previously had a £15m four year deal with sports wear maker Under Armour.
At the beginning of 2016 he signed a partnership with car manufacturer Jaguar.

Andy is the sole shareholder of his company, 77 Management which looks after his business empire.
However the savvy sportsman is selective about the companies he will do deals with. He won’t take on a sponsorship deal if it compromises his principles or impacts on his training schedule regardless of how much money it will earn him.
