Former world No. 1 Andy Murray says he is confident his statue at Wimbledon, set to be unveiled at the 150th edition of the championships in 2027, will be an improvement on the infamous terracotta warrior made for him at the 2011 Shanghai Masters.

“I thought I was better looking than that,” Murray quipped when unveiling the statue, which was built for his victory at the 2010 tournament.

It is just one of a number of less than flattering statues to be unveiled in honor of athletes over the years, with Dwyane Wade’s bronze sculpture outside the Miami Heat’s arena last year the latest to go viral for the wrong reasons.
