Well, they were courting controversy.
"I’m in no way shape or form a Murray fan but this is borderline insulting," one person wrote."Whoever commissioned this 'artwork' just insulted Scotland," someone else tweeted."The whole timeline of these rivalries is utter rubbish. Nadal has only appeared in 3 Wimbledon finals, the same as Murray," someone else wrote.
"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," one person lamented."They put Serena & Venus in the back like we back in the Civil Rights era," someone else wrote., he said that"Me not being on it is certainly not a problem" but that lamented the women players being placed in the background.
It seems people may have missed the point of the artwork. Wimbledon said the work was to commemorate rivalries, including between new generations, and Murray never had an arch-rival like the players pictured. But perhaps the response means that the whole concept was badly conceived .Enjoy your first month for just £1 / $1 / €1
