Wimbledon revealed its intention to honor Sir Andy Murray with a statue at the All England Club.
Murray, the champion of male singles from Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016, retired last year and will be involved in the design of sculpture.
Wimbledon hopes that the statue will be revealed in 2027 on the 150th anniversary of the championship.
“We are trying to have a statue of Andy Murray here (Wimbledon) and we are working closely with him and his team,” said the president of England, Debbie Jevans Ainslie + ainslie performance people podcast.

“The ambition is that we would reveal that on the 150th anniversary of our first championship, which was in 1877.
“He must rightly be very involved in this and he and his team will be.”
The great tennis John McEnroe and Billie Jean King are among those who previously asked that Murray be honored with a statue in Wimbledon.
The Scottish put an end to a 77 -year expectation for a British man to be crowned Wimbledon champion in Simple and retired after the Paris Olympic Games last August.

Novak Djokovic says he is not in a hurry to get a new coach before the French Open after separating Andy Murray.
Jevans said: “We had a big celebration for Andy when he played his last match (Wimbledon), who was on the central field.
“All the old players came and they praised him and Sue Barker interviewed him.
“We watched Rafa Nadal having this kind of plaque revealed to Roland Garros who was very special. But we thought, what do we want for Andy?”
A bronze statue of Fred Perry, the last British male champion before Murray, was erected in Wimbledon in 1984 to mark the 50th anniversary of her first championship in single.
