You’ve heard of Andy Murray Arena and have seen it in the past two weeks at Queen’s Club in London. Now, the reason for the three-time Major Champion fans and the cursed British Fred Perry will be immortalized in 2027 with Wimbledon next to Perry.
All England club president Deb Jevans said plans are planned to create plans for the statue to commemorate Murray’s 150th anniversary in 2027.
“We want to have a statue of Andy Murray here (Wimbledon) and we are working closely with him and his team,” Jevans told Ainslie + Ainslie Performance People Podcast.
“It is ambitious that we will reveal it on the 150th anniversary of our first championship (1877). He must be involved correctly and he and his team will.”
The honor of legend, Sir Andy Murray 🏆🇬🇧“We want to have the statue of Andy Murray, and we are working closely with him and his team. Ambitiously, we will be revealed on the 150th anniversary of the first championship in 1877.”

Wimbledon erected a statue of Perry in 1984 to commemorate the first anniversary of his three Wimbledon men’s singles championships. Perry has been an important part of British fans’ pilgrimage every year, winning a total of eight major titles.
Murray retired last year and will be a champions player for the first time since 2004.
“Now that he is retired, we’re very focused on how we embrace him and in the long run, he’s a part of the club.”
