This Wimbledon crown was his 3rd title of the season and his 38th career Tour title. Andy Murray's management company 77 Sports Management has confirmed by letter offered in this lot that Andy wore two shirts on court during the 2016 Final, this being one of them that was purchased by the current consignor at a Charity Auction. The other shirt was donated by Andy Murray to the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum.
