Andy Murray to be Honored with Statue at Wimbledon

The All England Club has revealed intentions to commemorate Sir Andy Murray’s remarkable tennis career with a statue at Wimbledon, according to reports.

Murray’s illustrious career includes three Grand Slam singles titles, a Davis Cup victory, and two Olympic gold medals. His 2013 Wimbledon win against Novak Djokovic ended a 77-year wait for a British men’s singles champion.

Murray, who retired from professional tennis in August 2024, will see his contributions immortalized. All England Club chair Debbie Jevans stated the statue is expected to be unveiled by 2027.

Jevans mentioned ongoing collaboration with Murray and his team to finalize the tribute’s details.

Comments from Debbie Jevans
  • “We are planning to erect a statue of Andy Murray here at Wimbledon and are working closely with him and his team.”
  • “The goal is to unveil it during the 150th anniversary of our first championship, which was in 1877. He and his team will be actively involved in the process.”

Jevans further added that with his retirement, the focus is now on solidifying his connection with the club for the future.

  • “Now that he’s retired, we are exploring avenues to ensure he remains an integral part of the club in the years ahead,” she stated.
  • “We observed the special plaque unveiling for Rafa Nadal at Roland Garros and considered what would be fitting for Andy.”

Fred Perry, the last British men’s champion before Murray, was honored with a bronze statue at Wimbledon in 1984.
