Andy Murray Immortalized: Wimbledon Plans Statue for 150th Anniversary
Wimbledon's Tribute to a Champion: Andy Murray to Collaborate on Commemorative Statue for 2027 Milestone
LONDON -- In a fitting tribute to one of Britain's most celebrated tennis stars, Andy Murray will play a key role in designing a statue in his honor for Wimbledon's 150th anniversary in 2027. The All England Club announced their intention to reveal the statue during the tournament's sesquicentennial celebrations, with club chairwoman Debbie Jevans confirming Murray's involvement in the creative process. This initiative not only celebrates Murray's historic victories in 2013 and 2016, ending a 77-year drought for British men's singles champions at Wimbledon, but also aligns with the club's tradition of honoring tennis legends, as seen by the Fred Perry statue erected in 1984.
