Andy Murray to Play Key Role in Wimbledon Statue Design
LONDON-Andy Murray, the two-time Wimbledon champion, will help design a statue of himself to commemorate the tournament’s 150th anniversary in 2027. Wimbledon organizers plan to unveil the statue of the British tennis star during the 2027 event.
Debbie Jevans, All England Club chairwoman, said Murray and his team will be heavily involved in the design process.Murray famously ended Britain’s 77-year wait for a home champion in men’s singles by defeating Novak djokovic in the 2013 final.He secured a second title in 2016 against Milos Raonic.
The statue project draws inspiration from the tribute Rafael Nadal received at Roland Garros, where he has won 14 French Open titles. Murray attended the Nadal ceremony.
Jevans noted the impact of Nadal’s recognition at Roland Garros. “We looked at Rafa Nadal having that sort of plaque unveiled to him at Roland-Garros which was all very special,” Jevans said. “But we thought, what do we want for Andy?”
Wimbledon already features a bronze statue of Fred Perry, Britain’s previous men’s champion before Murray in 1936. That statue was erected in 1984, marking 50 years since Perry’s first singles title at the tournament.
