Andy Murray is set to be honoured at Wimbledon with a statue, and it is hoped it will be ready to unveil at the 2027 tournament. The 38-year-old, who is a two-time Wimbledon winner and ended the long wait for a men’s singles champion in 2013, retired after the 2024 Paris Olympics. Chair of the All England Club, Debbie Jevans, said discussions over the statue had begun with Murray and his team.

A statue in honour of Andy Murray is set to be built at Wimbledon, with the All England Club hoping to unveil it in 2027 to mark the 150th anniversary of the first championship.

Murray became the first British men’s singles champion at Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936 when he beat Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the 2013 final.
