Murray will design his statue for Wimbledon’s 150th anniversary

Andy Murray to Design His Own Statue to Celebrate Wimbledon’s 150th Anniversary

The renowned British tennis player, Andy Murray, two-time Wimbledon champion, will participate in the design of a statue in his honor. This initiative commemorates the 150th anniversary of the prestigious grass-court tournament, which will be held in 2027. The Wimbledon organizers announced that the statue of the British tennis icon will be unveiled during the 2027 edition.

He must be very involved in this, and he and his team will be.

Murray broke the 77-year drought without a British men’s singles champion in 2013, by defeating Novak Djokovic in the final.

The Scottish tennis player won his second title, and his third Grand Slam singles title overall, in the 2016 final against Milos Raonic. The inspiration for this statue project was the tribute to Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros, where Murray was present. Nadal was honored for his 14 French Open titles.

We saw Rafa Nadal have that kind of plaque revealed at Roland Garros, which was very special. But we thought, what do we want for Andy?

In 1984, a bronze statue of Fred Perry, the previous British men’s champion before Murray in 1936, was erected to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his first singles title at the tournament. The 2025 tournament at Wimbledon will begin on Monday.
