Wimbledon CEO Sally Bolton hinted that Sir Andy could join Fred Perry in having a statue somewhere in the grounds.
A statue in the grounds of Wimbledon could be on the cards for Sir Andy Murray after he retires as the tennis player weighs up playing singles at the competition for the final time.
“And, in any event, we’d want to work with Andy on that and he understandably is not ready to have those conversations just yet. We will make sure we get this right because this is for all time.”It comes after American tennis great John McEnroe called for Sir Andy to receive a statue last week. “He’s absolutely changed the way people look at British tennis. He’s one of the greatest competitors that I’ve ever seen play tennis.
Tennis fan Catherine, from Belgium, is first in the queue to see the Scottish player, and has been there since 10am on Saturday.
