Wimbledon 2019: Andy Murray in Kiss? Or as Crocodile Dundee?

“Me and my mates realised that there is a Scottish guy playing tennis and it drew me back into the sport more than I had been in years.

“Me and a couple of guys started sending a few emails back and forth, knocking up some images and we had such a laugh…”

That was how Edinburgh-based graphic designer Nial Smith began one of the most unique chronicles of Andy Murray’s celebrated career.

Since then his parody poster images have gone public and viral, catching the attention of Murray, his family and the tennis world at large.

Here he talks us through the inspiration behind the images, Grand Slam-by-Grand Slam, finishing up with Wimbledon.
