ANDY'S MONUMENTAL

McEnroe hails the impact of great Scot

- NEIL McLEMAN

WIMBLEDON should build a statue of Andy Murray to commemorate his achievements, according to John McEnroe.

And the American legend reckons the metalhipped Scot would have won even more big titles if his career had not been dogged by injuries.

The All England Club has busts of five female British winners at the front of the clubhouse and unveiled a statue of three-time champion Fred Perry in 1984. Murray’s Wimbledon triumph in 2013 was the first by a British male in the singles since the Stockport star in 1936.

Roland Garros unveiled a metal sculpture in honour of Spanish superstar Rafa Nadal in 2021 before he won his record 14th French Open the following year.
