ndy Murray has labelled the paintings for this 12 months’s Wimbledon “strange” and “a disaster”.
A poster was unveiled earlier this month depicting Wimbledon’s nice rivalries with Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz bizarrely on the entrance, and two-time champion Murray among the many notable absentees.
While Murray mentioned he was unfazed by his personal absence from the paintings, he mentioned: “It was a disaster, wasn’t it? I don’t need to elaborate any more on it, it’s pretty obvious if you see the poster.
“That was what was slightly strange. I guess the players that are on the poster are ones that have had incredible careers and have been unbelievably successful at Wimbledon. But elsewhere are some of the greatest players of all time.
“For me, Alcaraz and Sinner are unbelievable players but it just seems strange that they were all sort of behind them.”
When the poster was unveiled minus Murray, his brother Jamie wrote on social media, “where’s Andy Murray” whereas the pair’s uncle Neil Erskine wrote: “Appalling at every level, all about the men in the forefront and your own British history maker nowhere to be seen. You should be ashamed of yourselves.”
Despite the furore, Murray mentioned he was nonplussed by his personal no-show. He mentioned: “I personally don’t really care that much about it.”
