# Tennis: Wimbledon will erect a statue of former world number one Andy Murray within the next two years. He became the first British player in 77 years to win the men’s singles in 2013, and repeated the feat in 2017. Before Murray, Fred Perry was the previous local champion in 1936, and is still the only player to have a full-body statue at the All England Club. Murray’s statue will be unveiled when the famous grass-court Grand Slam tournament celebrates its 150th anniversary in 2027.
