The man who was able to end a 77-year curse at Wimbledon will have the recognition he deserves. Andy Murray, who became the first British tennis player to win at the prestigious London tournament since 1936, will have a statue at the All England Lawn Tennis Club complex starting in 2027, in celebration of the tournament's 150th anniversary, as confirmed by journalist Michal Samulski. The Telegraph has spoken with the sculptor of the piece, David Williams-Ellis, who revealed that it was being modeled in clay, on a steel structure, before being cast in bronze; it would be slightly larger than life-size, approximately 20% taller than Murray's height of 1.90 meters, and would weigh around half a ton. This would make it significantly larger than the Perry statue.

Murray, who won Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016, is currently working as a part-time coach for Jack Draper, with whom he was supposed to be at this edition of the London tournament until he withdrew at the last minute due to shoulder problems. Previously, he had a brief but intense period coaching Novak Djokovic, which lasted the first six months of 2025. The Scottish player's reaction to this historic decision is currently unknown. His statue will now stand alongside Fred Perry's at Wimbledon and Rafa Nadal's at Roland Garros.

In addition to his two triumphs at Wimbledon, Andy Murray also boasts another Grand Slam (US Open 2012), as well as two Olympic gold medals (London 2012, Rio de Janeiro 2016) and 41 weeks at the top of the ATP ranking.
