Andy placed a replica of the famous Wimbledon trophy inside the sporty estate car’s 565-litre to send it on a UK tour.

Murray said: “Letting go of the trophy will be difficult, but there’s no better vehicle than the Jaguar XF Sportbrake to take it on this UK tour.

“I’m pleased that people are going to be able to get up close to the trophy when it visits schools and tennis clubs, and hopefully it might encourage people to pick up a racket this summer.”

Wimbledon starts on July 3 and runs until July 16, with the draw set to take place on this week.

Joshua has yet to reveal who his next opponent will be after beating Vladimir Klitschko in dramatic style at Wembley in April.
This week he revealed he wants an all-British contest with Tyson Fury.
