<p>
Andy Murray's uncle and brother have questioned why the two-time Wimbledon champion is not on an official poster of past and present greats. </p>
<p>
The All England Club posted on its social media channels an image of 15 famous players walking down a staircase. </p>
<p>
Under the banner "here's to the next generation of headline acts", young duo Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz - neither of whom have made an impact at the Championships yet - stand in the foreground. </p>
<p>
Behind them are a selection of "epic" rivalries including Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova and Serena and Venus Williams. </p>
<p>
But Murray, who ended Britain's 77-year wait for a men's champion in 2013, is nowhere to be seen. </p>
<p>
His uncle, Niall Erskine, tweeted underneath the image: "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." </p>
<p>
And Jamie Murray, who has been competing along with his brother at the cinch Championships this week, replied to Wimbledon's Instagram post with "Where's @andymurray?" </p>
<p>
He added: "Didn't they talk about the big 4 for 10 years until he smashed his hip to pieces when he was world No 1?" </p>
<p>
Illustrator Grant Gruenhaupt responded by saying more paintings are planned. </p>
<p>
Meanwhile, Jamie Murray and partner Michael Venus lost their first-round doubles match at Queen's Club against Matthew Hebden and Rohan Bopanna in two tie-breaks. </p>
<p>
Andy Murray was due to play in the doubles alongside Cameron Norrie later on Wednesday but the Scot, knocked out of the singles on Tuesday, has withdrawn from the event. </p>
