Three -time Grand Slam winner Murray said the prevalence of social media abuse "hasn't really changed" He added that by the end of his career he paid no attention to "hostility" he received online.

British tennis player Katie Boulter spoke about the scale of unsavoury and hurtful comments she has received online, including death threats.

Maybe when Wimbledon starts I might feel differently," he said. "I have got no plans to go. Maybe if there was a British player in the final or something I might go along to watch, but I'm not planning on going." It was confirmed this week that the All England Club intends to have a statue of Murray in place at the Grand Slam tournament's grounds by 2027 ..
