Tennis hero Sir Andy Murray has signed up as a motivational speaker.

The three-time Grand Slam winner will talk about tackling adversity, mental toughness and peak performance.

He has signed with London-based Chartwell Speakers, whose clients include ex-PM Gordon Brown, Olympian Sir Mo Farah and TV host Graham Norton.

The fee for hiring Murray, 37, has not been revealed but is likely to run into thousands of pounds per event, The Sun reports.

Chartwell’s website says: “Andy’s story of overcoming adversity continues to inspire both on and off the court.

“Despite hip surgery in 2018 and 2019, his resilience and passion for the game have seen him return to the court, inspiring millions with his determination to compete at the highest level.

“Murray’s insights on adversity, leadership, and peak performance make him a sought-after speaker at events worldwide. “His ability to connect with audiences and share his experiences offers valuable lessons in resilience, teamwork, and the pursuit of excellence.”

The double Wimbledon champ hung up his racket after last summer’s Paris Olympics.

He has since coached ex-rival Novak Djokovic.
