British Tennis Legend Sir Andy Murray to Be Honored with Bronze Statue at Wimbledon in 2027

British tennis legend Sir Andy Murray is set to receive one of the sport’s highest honours, with a bronze statue to be unveiled at Wimbledon in 2027, the All England Club has announced. The tribute will coincide with the 150th anniversary of The Championships.

At 38, Murray will become only the second player in history, after Fred Perry, to be commemorated with a full-sized statue on the grounds of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

The decision pays tribute to Murray’s remarkable career, which includes two Wimbledon titles, four Grand Slam victories, two Olympic gold medals, and a historic tenure as world No. 1. He officially retired from professional tennis following his appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, concluding a career that spanned two decades and redefined British tennis.

A Lasting Tribute to a National Legend

All England Club chair Debbie Jevans described the tribute as “fitting and long overdue,” noting Murray’s role in inspiring future generations and elevating the profile of British tennis on the global stage.

Murray is expected to be personally involved in the design of the sculpture to ensure it captures his likeness and legacy accurately. The statue will be installed in a prominent location on the Wimbledon grounds.

Speaking with trademark humour, Murray expressed optimism that the sculpture would surpass a previous attempt in Shanghai, which was widely criticised for its appearance.

“I think they’ll do a good job this time,” he said.

A Legacy Beyond Tennis

Murray’s influence extends well beyond his achievements on court. He has been widely recognised for his advocacy on mental health, gender equality, and his support of charitable causes. He remains one of the most respected figures in modern tennis, both in Britain and internationally.

Once unveiled, the statue will stand not only as a tribute to Murray’s victories on Centre Court, but also as a lasting symbol of his resilience, leadership, and enduring impact on the sport.
