2011 statues in Shanghai ‘weren’t great’, says Murray
Sir Andy Murray says he is proud that Wimbledon will unveil a statue in his honour at the 2027 Championships – and has faith that the All England Club will come up with a likeness of him that won’t leave fans laughing or scratching their heads.
The last time a statue was made in Murray’s honour, in an ATP tournament in Shanghai in 2011, the former British No 1 was photographed next to a terracotta warrior that looked more like one of America’s founding fathers or the former Chelsea manager José Mourinho.
