The All England Club announced plans to honor Andy Murray with a statue at Wimbledon, recognizing his immense contribution to tennis. Murray ended Britain's 77-year wait for a men's singles champion when he won the title in 2013, defeating Novak Djokovic, and secured his second victory in 2016. Following his retirement in August 2024 after the Olympic Games, discussions for the statue have intensified, according to BBC, Channel News Asia, and Reuters.

The statue is intended to be unveiled during the 150th anniversary of Wimbledon, which was established in 1877. Debbie Jevans, chair of the All England Club, confirmed that they are "working closely" with Murray and his team to ensure he is actively involved in the process. The ambition is to appropriately honor his legacy as one of Britain's greatest athletes, according to BBC and Channel News Asia.

Murray's statue will join Fred Perry's bronze figure, which commemorates Perry as the last British men's singles champion before Murray, having been unveiled in 1984 for Perry’s first singles triumph anniversary. Jevans emphasized that Murray "provided special moments in the club's history" and deserves to be equally recognized, as detailed in Reuters.
