(London) “Shocking!” The publication on Wednesday on the official Wimbledon Instagram account of an official tournament poster with many “historic” players, but without the Briton Andy Murray, winner in 2013, angered the champion’s family.

On the visual titled “To the new generation of headliners”, fifteen players are represented, including Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in the foreground, while they still have everything to prove on the London lawn.

Behind them, descending a staircase, follow a selection of players symbolizing legendary rivalries: Roger Federer with Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, Björn Borg and John McEnroe, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova or Serena and Venus Williams.

But not Andy Murray, who has become the first Briton to win the Grand Slam grass event since Fred Perry in 1936.

“Where’s Andy Murray?” asked his brother, Jamie Murray, in the publication of Wimbledon.

“Didn’t they bring up the 10 years in the top 4 until he blew his hip to pieces when he was world number one? “, he continued.

“Appalling in every way,” Andy Murray’s uncle Niall Erskine tweeted.

“Everything for the men in the foreground and your own history-making Briton is nowhere to be seen. You should be ashamed,” he ranted.

The illustrator author of the poster, Grant Gruenhaupt, defended himself by explaining that other posters were planned.

Currently 38th in the ATP rankings, Murray remained on two Challenger victories in Surbiton and Nottingham before being stopped in the first round of the Queen’s ATP 500 tournament on Tuesday by the No. 7 seed, Australian Alex de Minaur ( 6-3, 6-1).

Expected Wednesday in doubles alongside his compatriot Cameron Norrie, Murray preferred to forfeit.
