The All England Club is set to immortalise Sir Andy Murray in statue form to recognise his contribution to tennis.

Sir Andy has a highly decorated tennis career, having achieved 46 ATP Tour singles titles and three Olympic medals.

in 2013, he ended the UK's 77-year wait for a men's singles champion by beating Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon.

He then went on to secure victory in Wimbledon again in 2016 against Milos Raonic.

To celebrate his contributions to tennis, the sports star, who retired in 2024, is to be honoured with a statue which fans can expect to see unveiled in 2027.

Debbie Jevans, chair of the All England Club, told the ainslie + ainslie Performance People podcast: "We are looking to have a statue of Andy Murray here and we're working closely with him and his team and the ambition is that we would unveil that for the 150th anniversary of our first championships, which was 1877, so (150 years) is 2027."

Jevans also reflected on Sir Andy's 2013 Wimbledon win, calling It "special".

"When he won, it was just so special - so special for him, so special for us as a club and now he's retired, we're very much looking at how we can embrace him, for him to be a part of the club in the long term," she said.

Fred Perry, the last British men's champion before Murray, also had a statue of him erected at Wimbledon in 1984 to mark the 50th anniversary of his first singles championship.
