Andy Murray left red-faced after swapping sports and storms out in anger

Andy Murray has been enjoying life in retirement since hanging up his racket at last year's Olympic Games. The three-time Major winner has spent plenty of time on the golf course, he has signed new brand deals with the likes of Purina and Albert Bartlett, and he even coached Novak Djokovic earlier this year.

Murray has now appeared on the latest episode of Romesh Ranganathan's podcast, where he tried his hand at another new sport, though one that was a little more familiar to him - table tennis. The former world No. 1 gave it large to Ranganathan when the game started, and was then left red-faced when he came out on the losing end, walking out of the room.

At the start of , Ranganathan presented the two-time Olympic champion with a special gift - a small table tennis board, with foosball and ice hockey built in.

"Obviously, you're retired from tennis, you're somebody who likes to keep yourself occupied, so we thought we could provide you with potentially a new hobby, and that's where this gift comes from," the comedian said.

"Look at that! That is very kind of you. I used to play at one of my friends' houses, table tennis," Murray said.

"That is pretty cool. Genuinely, I do like it, because I think the kids will enjoy that. That is very kind of you."

The producers suggested they have a game at the end of the episode, but both men seemed hesitant. "Romesh can't hit a ball," Murray joked.

But they were both up for it by the time they'd finished chatting, and had a quick game of table tennis to wrap up the podcast. "After the, sort of, the abuse about his physical abilities, I really don't want to lose this now, do I?" the retired tennis champion said.

It was best-of-three points, and Ranganathan had a tough start when he hit the ball too hard, sending it beyond the board. Murray laid into the comedian about his technique.

The former world No. 1 exclaimed: "It's so bad! It's probably not going to look that bad on camera, but the lack of feel is wild. It's wild. You've hit that so hard. It's a tiny little table, it's just a little tap. What do you mean, you didn't know? It's a tiny little table."

However, on the very next point, Murray did exactly what Ranganathan had just done and hit the ball off the board. He raised his head in frustration and covered his face, mortified that his words had come back to haunt him.

"You have hit that so hard. It was wild. Just a bit of feel," Ranganathan said, mocking Murray, who "couldn't believe" what he'd just done.

On the deciding point, Murray sent the ball into the miniature net, handing the comedian and presenter the victory. "I think I've got to leave guys," he joked, standing up and walking out of the room after a tough loss.
