LONDON (Web Desk) – Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams, this year’s Wimbledon champions, are anything but cookie cutters. So when it came to celebrating their victory at SW19, the champions decided to do it a bit differently.
Resuming a tradition that had been dormant for decades, Djokovic and Serena hit the dance floor at the Wimbledon Champions’ Ball on Sunday.
After defeating Roger Federer in four riveting sets in Sunday’s final, the men’s champion said he was going to ask Serena to dance, Hindustan Times reported.
Djokovic said he originally planned for a waltz, but they ended up performing something straight out of Saturday Night Fever instead.
The USA Today reported dancing at the ball had been a tradition at Wimbledon, but when the ceremony moved to a smaller space in 1977, the practice was scuttled and never officially brought back.
The two Wimbledon champions have won five of the six Grand Slam singles titles in 2015.
