Murray's autographed shirt from 2013 Wimbledon final up for auction
Murray, 38, claimed two of his three Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon and ended Britain's 77-year wait for a men's singles champion at the grasscourt Grand Slam in 2013 when he defeated Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the final.
One of the three Adidas shirts the Scot wore in that match is up for grabs in an online sale held by Graham Budd Auctions in partnership with Golden Age of Tennis, with the auction set to conclude on July 13.
Murray's shirt, signed by the player and authenticated by Wimbledon's head groundsman, is expected to fetch up to 8,000 pounds ($10,928), while his baseball cap from the same match could attract bids close to 3,500 pounds.
'There's no better time than Wimbledon weeks to celebrate tennis history,' David Convery, the head of sporting memorabilia at Graham Budd Auctions, said in a statement.
'This auction features truly iconic pieces … each item a powerful link to the sport's greatest moments.'
Fans can also pick up the net that was used in the 2010 epic featuring John Isner and Nicolas Mahut, the longest professional tennis match in history that lasted 11 hours and five minutes and took place over three days.
The net cord is autographed by Isner and Mahut.
Autographed Wimbledon tennis balls with the signatures of Rafa Nadal, Roger Federer, Djokovic and Murray are also on offer for between 300-500 pounds.

Trinity Rodman supports Ben Shelton at Wimbledon
Professional soccer player Trinity Rodman was seen attending Wimbledon this week, supporting tennis player Ben Shelton during his second round match. Rodman, 22, is a forward for the US Women's National Team and the daughter of former NBA star Dennis Rodman. She was seated in Shelton's player box on July 3. Shelton, ranked No. 10 in the world, experienced a delay in play due to low light during the match. Video clips and images of Rodman from the stands were widely shared on social media, with many commenting on her quiet presence and attentiveness during the match. The couple publicly confirmed their relationship in March 2025, when Rodman posted a photo of the two together with the caption 'mine.' She has since attended other matches in support of Shelton, including a tennis tournament in Munich earlier this year. Rodman is currently recovering from a back injury and is not competing. Shelton remains active in the Wimbledon draw. Their joint appearances have drawn attention across both the sports and entertainment worlds, as they continue to support each other amid demanding professional schedules.

Brilliant Djokovic hits flow state to crush Britain's Evans
LONDON: Seven-times Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic showed that he remains a real threat for a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title at the age of 38 with a clinical 6-3 6-2 6-0 second-round destruction of Briton Dan Evans on Centre Court on Thursday. The Serb continues to rage against the dying of the light and showed why he has identified the grass of Wimbledon as his best chance of adding to his extraordinary tally in a superb all-round performance where he looked as sharp and fit as at any time in his incredible career. He was never remotely troubled on serve until the final game of the match, while wildcard Evans had to scramble for almost everything on his – saving nine first-set break points before eventually succumbing on the 10th. Murray's autographed shirt from 2013 Wimbledon final up for auction Djokovic continued to dominate as Evans, who beat him in their only previous meeting on clay four years ago, saw his tame sliced backhands repeatedly crashed back past him as the sixth seed romped home. Twenty years after first setting foot on the Wimbledon grass Djokovic is the most dangerous of floaters. Since losing in the quarter-finals in 2017 he has reached the last six finals, winning the first four but losing the last two to Carlos Alcaraz, and it would be a brave man to bet against him making it seven in a row on Thursday's evidence. 'He (Evans) can cause a lot of trouble if you're not on top of your game, which I think I was to be honest from the very beginning,' Djokovic said. 'Technically, tactically I knew exactly what I needed to do and I executed perfectly. Sometimes you have these kind of days, where everything goes your way, everything flows and it's good to be in the shoes and holding a racket on a day like this.' The tone was set almost from the start, with Djokovic racing through his service games and Evans having to fight for everything. Roared on by a hopeful home crowd the 35-year-old Brit saved four break points in a marathon fourth game, three in the sixth and another two in the eighth, before Djokovic finally broke at the 10th attempt. Evans was ranked as high as 21st in the world two years ago, but he has plummeted to 154th and his backhand slice was totally ineffective as Djokovic teed off on it with unerring accuracy. The match soon had an inevitability about it as the Serb moved seamlessly through the second set and then raced to a 5-0 lead in the third before Evans finally forced two break points, only for Djokovic to snuff out the danger. It put him into the third round for the 19th time - a men's record in the Open era - at a tournament he loves above all others. 'I've said this a million times before, but I have to repeat it, Wimbledon still stays the most special tournament in my heart, the one that I always dreamed of winning when I was a kid,' he said. 'It's the beginning of the tournament, but yes I'm aware of the history on the line and I'm thinking about the big things that I can make in this tournament.'

From Grand Slam to grand struggle, Krejcikova lives to fight on
LONDON: Barbora Krejcikova's Wimbledon defence is still alive — but only just. The Czech squeezed past American Caroline Dolehide 6-4 3-6 6-2 in a second-round tussle that was all grind and no grandeur. There was zero champion's polish on show as the Czech creaked her way into the third round, surviving a match as scrappy as a Henman Hill picnic after a seagull raid. 'A huge relief,' she said afterwards to polite applause from the crowd. 'Really up and down points, turning one way and the other … I am so grateful I can keep going.' Court Two spectators, many blissfully unaware that they were watching the reigning champion, might be forgiven — Krejcikova herself barely looked the part. Brilliant Djokovic hits flow state to crush Britain's Evans A season dogged by back and thigh niggles has left the 29-year-old short of sharpness, and her patchy 4-3 record for the season coming in was on full display in a match strewn with errors. Spraying foreheads wide of their mark and dumping backhands into the net, nothing suggested a twice Grand Slam champion was holding court. At times the contest resembled less a Grand Slam match and more a practice session between two very rusty players - Krejcikova produced 39 unforced errors, while Dolehide got fewer than half her first serves in all match. The pair exchanged errors and breaks of serve throughout – Dolehide trying to power her way into the contest while Krejcikova sought to claw her way to victory on the back of slow, sliced forehands whispering back to a gentler age. Scarcely can a champion have produced such a lukewarm performance on the Grand Slam stage but it would be fair to say the Czech blows hot and cold on the tennis court. French Open champion in 2021, she has followed that title run with three first-round defeats and one second round showing at Roland Garros in the years since. Her form can read like a nursery rhyme. When she's good, she's very, very good — Grand Slam good. But when the gears don't quite catch, when timing slips or confidence wavers, she can unravel just as spectacularly. As Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 19th-century American poet and nursery rhyme writer, had it: when she is good, she is very, very good — but when she is bad, she is horrid. Still, the 17th seed did just enough to scrape through to gentle applause and a sterner test ahead: 10th seed Emma Navarro, who won't be quite so generous.
