WIMBLEDON should build a statue of Andy Murray to commemorate his achievements, according to John McEnroe.
And the American legend reckons the man with the metal hip would have won more big titles if injuries had not dogged his career.
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.
Asked if Wimbledon should erect a monument to the Scot, BBC commentator McEnroe said: "If I was making that decision, I would say absolutely, yes, because that's a long drought - 77 years.
"He's absolutely changed the way people look at British tennis. He's one of the greatest competitors I've ever seen play tennis.
