Murray reveals worries about how life will change following first Grand Slam win

Murray, accompanied by his girlfriend Kim Sears, arrived at Heathrow after a flight from New York.

It is not known yet if Murray, who also won an Olympic gold medal, will take part in a parade in Glasgow on Friday to celebrate Scotlands Olympic and Paralympic athletes.

A source close to Murray said he would be taking a few days out following his arrival in London.

He will take some time to rest and get his head right before deciding what to do next, the source said.

Murray admitted before leaving New York that he was not sure what reaction his new status would bring on his return.

He said: Its something that will probably take a bit of getting used to. Its not something Ive always been that comfortable with.

I spoke to (coach) Ivan (Lendl) a couple of times during the year and he asked me, What worries you?.

I said that I worry what might happen if I win a major, how my life might change, because I want it to be the same.

He said he felt the same thing but all that happens is you get more people congratulating you and you get nicer tables in restaurants and to play on all the good golf courses for free.
