Wimbledon Andy Murray Statue Set for 2027

Wimbledon will honor two-time champion Andy Murray with a statue at the All England Club, set to be unveiled during the tournament's 150th anniversary in 2027. Murray, who ended Britain's 77-year wait for a men's singles champion in 2013 and won again in 2016, will be involved in designing the sculpture alongside his team. The decision to commemorate Murray comes following his retirement after the 2024 Paris Olympics. This initiative, led by All England Club chair Debbie Jevans, was influenced by similar tributes to tennis legends and calls from John McEnroe and Billie Jean King to recognize Murray's achievements. The project reflects Murray's transformative impact on British tennis and his memorable victories on Centre Court. Organizers emphasize the collaborative and personal aspects of the tribute, ensuring Murray's legacy at Wimbledon.
