LONDON (AP) — Two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray is to help design a statue of himself to mark the grass-court tournament’s 150th anniversary in 2027. Wimbledon organizers said Tuesday they aim to unveil the statue of the British tennis great during the 2027 edition. “He’s got to rightly be very involved in that and him and his team will be,” the All England Club chairwoman Debbie Jevans said.
