2013 took Andy Murray home Wimbledon, and for the first time in 77 long years, the home crowd finally got to see a Brit win the men's tournament. Three years later, he won again.

Thus, he is seen today as a legend within British tennis, and when the tournament celebrates 150 years – during 2027 – a statue of the 38-year-old will be unveiled.

In recent years, several horrific examples of unveiled statues have emerged. Among other things, both basketball legend Dwayne Wade and football icon Cristiano Ronaldo have had their statues ridiculed and laughed at on social media.

So now Wimbledon has come up with a clever trick so that the same thing won't happen with Murray's statue.

He will get to design it himself.

Of course, he must be involved in it, so therefore he and his team will be, says Debbie Jevans, chairman of the All England Club.

Only Fred Perry, who won Wimbledon three times in the 1930s, has got a full-scale statue after him at the venerable facility.
