During his historic 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 Wimbledon Heren Singles, a racket Andy Murray used last victory over Novak Djokovic recently sold for $ 73,200 (including the buyer’s premium) with Goldin auctions.
It is most paid for an Andy Murray item at an auction.
The victory of Murray 2013 was the first time in 76 years that a British man had won in Wimbledon. Since the First World War, Murray, who won again in 2016, and Fred Perry, who won in 1934, 1935 and 1936, are the only British men who won Wimbledon. A British woman Wimbledon has not won on the singles of the ladies since Virginia Wade in 1977.
The auction’s lot includes an authenticity letter from Resolution Photomatching, which says it made a “convincing” match with the use of the racket in the Wimbledon final, as well as Murray’s second round and semi-final matches. (De Loa also states that the racket was used in a game 26 June, for the tournament.)
The auction for Murray’s racket was strongly disputed; There were 49 bids from the moment that the plot was opened on August 29 for the conclusion.
The record paid for a tennis racket is a Babolat racket that Rafael Nadal used during his French open-winning final of 2017. The racket was sold in June for more than $ 157,000.
