Andy Murray's uncle is the latest to criticise Wimbledon for their posters and promotional material used to advertise this year's Championships.

Leaving out the double champion who has been the focal point of the tournament from a home hope point of view for a number of years, it instead featured the so-called Big Three as well as Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

Designed to be the new school emerging to replace the old school, many see it as disrespectful to a player who is idolised in the United Kingdom by sporting fans.

As well as relegating not only Murray but also Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova and Serena Williams, three of the best ever female tennis players to the foreground.

“Appalling at every level, all about the men in the forefront and your own British history maker nowhere to be seen. You should be ashamed of yourselves," said Erskine on Twitter.

Jamie Murray himself showed his frustrations tweeting: “Where’s @andymurray?” Illustrator Grant Grünhaupt responded: “Worry not Jamie, there are more paintings on the way”.
