Wimbledon organisers have revealed plans to honour British tennis icon Andy Murray with a statue, set to be unveiled during the tournament’s landmark 150th anniversary in 2027. The two-time Wimbledon champion will play an active role in designing the tribute at the All England Club.

An honour fitting of the legend, Sir Andy Murray ???

"We are looking to have a statue of Andy Murray and we`re working closely with him and his team. The ambition is that we would unveil that at the 150th anniversary of our first championship, which was 1877."
