<p>Murray, the Wimbledon men’s singles champion in 2013 and 2016, retired last year and will be involved in designing the sculpture.</p>
<p>Wimbledon hope the statue will be revealed in 2027 during the championship’s 150th anniversary.</p>

<p>“We are looking to have a statue of Andy Murray here (Wimbledon) and we’re working closely with him and his team,” All England club chair Debbie Jevans told the ainslie + ainslie Performance People podcast.</p>
<p>“The ambition is that we would unveil that at the 150th anniversary of our first Championship, which was 1877.</p>
<p>“He’s got to rightly be very involved in that and him and his team will be.”</p>
<p>Tennis greats John McEnroe and Billie Jean King are among those that have previously called for Murray to be honoured with a statue at Wimbledon.</p>

<p>The Scot ended a 77-year wait for a British man to be crowned Wimbledon singles champion and retired after the Paris Olympics last August.</p>
<p>Jevans said: “We had a great celebration for Andy when he played his last (Wimbledon) match, which was on Centre Court.</p>
<p>“All the old players came and they greeted him and Sue Barker interviewed him.</p>
<p>“We looked at Rafa Nadal having that sort of plaque unveiled to him at Roland Garros which was all very special. But we thought, what do we want for Andy?”</p>
<p>A bronze statue of Fred Perry, the last British men’s champion before Murray, was erected at Wimbledon in 1984 to mark the 50th anniversary of his first singles championship.</p>
