Andy Murray’s 2013 Wimbledon Triumph: The Day He Made History

When Andy Murray stepped onto Centre Court for the 2013 Wimbledon final, British tennis carried 77 years of waiting on its shoulders. What followed became one of the most significant moments in British sporting history.

Now, coming to the Grand Slam Timed Auction of Tennis Memorabilia, collectors have the rare chance to own original match-worn pieces from that day: one of only three shirts worn by Murray during the final, signed by him and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Wimbledon’s head groundsman. Lot 838

Also included is Murray’s match-worn white Adidas cap from the same final, offered in used condition with certification. Lot 839

Worn during a straight-sets win over Novak Djokovic - 7-6, 6-4, 6-4 - this shirt and cap capture the moment Murray became the first British man to lift the Wimbledon trophy since Fred Perry in 1936. 

In front of a home crowd and under huge pressure, Murray delivered one of the defining performances of his career - a moment of extraordinary personal achievement.

Murray’s journey to this historic victory was anything but easy. 

Debuting at Wimbledon in 2005 as a wild card teenager, Murray fought through years of close defeats, fierce rivalries - including multiple Grand Slam battles with Djokovic - and the expectation of a nation. 

Over eight years, he evolved into a true contender, known for his defensive brilliance, athleticism, and mental toughness and on 7th July  2013, after three hours and nine minutes of relentless tennis, Murray claimed the title that had eluded British players for nearly eight decades.

Before retiring in 2024, Murray’s career saw him win 46 titles, reach World No.1, claim three Grand Slam victories, two Olympic golds, and receive a knighthood. 

These match-worn pieces stand as rare and important artefacts from the career of one of Britain’s greatest sporting legends.
