IN an upstairs classroom at a renowned Paris catering college, Andy Murray found himself between a wok and a hard place.
Finally at peace with the final curtain, which could fall on a legend's tennis career as soon as this weekend, the Greatest Living Scotsman admitted he doesn't know what he's going to do with the rest of his life.
After some quality time with wife Kim and their four children, he has resolved to renew his love affair with the golf clubs and bring his handicap down to scratch.
His mother, Judy, appeared on Strictly 10 years ago, but hopefully the only dance floors on Murray's horizon will be perfectly-manicured greens within range of his swing.
At 37, his farewell tour will reach its full stop in the Paris 2024 men's doubles with Dan Evans as his accomplice.
He wanted to bow out on the big stage, and the camaraderie of Team GB at the Olympic Games - where he won backto-back singles gold medals at London 2012 and in Rio - is the best that he can do after slipping towards the sunset amid perpetual injury setbacks.
