Andy Murray’s Wimbledon Tennis Data Transformed Into NFT Artwork
Historic tennis tournament Wimbledon and past champion Andy Murray have teamed up with digital artist Refik Anadol to launch an official Wimbledon art NFT on Ethereum. The data-driven digital art project, “The Exposition,” was created using 18 years of Andy Murray’s Wimbledon data—including his two Grand Slam victories at the prestigious tennis tournament in 2013 and 2016—alongside unique motion-capture sessions. The project is billed as a “world-first fusion of digital art, sport and data science.”
The open edition NFT went on sale earlier today via manifold.xyz to coincide with Murray’s second-round match at Wimbledon 2023, and will be available until July 16. The NFTs, which were produced with Web3 consultancy FAN3, are priced at $147 apiece.

Sale of rare Bored Ape underscores NFT market slump
The second rarest Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT has been sold for just 200 ETH (roughly $372,000) — far below peak prices for the collection’s most prized items. Bored Ape #3953, a cream-furred creature with protruding eyes shown chewing on pizza, changed hands earlier today, according to blockchain records. Rarity Sniper ranks it as the second rarest item in the collection. In the past, apes with similar traits have been sold for millions of dollars. The record sale, brokered by Sotheby’s in 2021, was $3.4 million.
The news comes with the prices of some of the most popular NFT collections plummeting. The floor price — the cheapest point of entry for an NFT collection — of Yuga Labs’ Bored Ape Yacht Club currently sits at 31 ETH (around $58,000). It stood at 28 ETH earlier this week, as low as it’s been in over 18 months.

It stood at 28 ETH earlier this week, as low as it’s been in over 18 months and less than half its value at the start of the year, according to NFT Price Floor data. Trading volumes for the collection are at a two-year high, implying a sell-off. Yuga Labs, the startup behind BAYC, appears unfazed by the crash. Crypto Twitter was less sanguine. As one user pointed out, “It’s wild to think that at the top, the BAYC floor was higher than this sale (in USD not ETH).”

For “The Exposition,” developers created a unique algorithm that uses millions of inputs from statistics along with motion, audio, and visual data. The resulting color bursts represent the “drama, the rivalries, and the Championship victories” of Murray’s ongoing Wimbledon career, according to the project description.

🖼 Yuga Labs plans to restore spark around its NFTs
Last week, Bored Apes creator Yuga Labs released its latest NFT-gated game, HV-MTL Forge, but it hasn't yet helped the dragging performance of the company that owns several of the top NFT collections. Yuga Labs is the standard-bearer for the industry of non-fungible tokens. It owns Bored Apes, Mutant Apes and CryptoPunks, along with a number of other important NFT collections. The giant milestone for Otherside, according to new CEO Daniel Alegre, will be when Yuga can start letting others build on it. The muted reception for HV-MTL Forge aside, the giant question mark around Yuga Labs is the Otherside virtual world that it's building and that fans have already sank millions of dollars into. Very soon, Yuga will announce a cadence for revelations that will give its NFT owners and fans a sense for how often they will reveal new pieces of work. When 20 or 30 NFT collections can create ways their NFTs will show up in Otherside and they can start making experiences in the world independent of Yuga. Yuga Labs entered the metaverse hype last year when it sold deeds for its Otherside virtual world, raking in about $320 million. It took users on its "First Trip" into the space a couple months later.
