Novak Djokovic has revealed he and Serena Williams revived an old tradition by dancing at the Wimbledon champions’ dinner. Fresh from their triumphs on Centre Court, the pair received a standing ovation from guests after showing off their moves. They became the first players to dance officially at the London Guildhall event since Bjorn Borg and Chris Evert in 1976. And Djokovic, who won his third Wimbledon title on Sunday after beating Roger Federer, said their performance was inspired by classic Bee Gees song Night Fever.
The Serbian said: “There was no practice, I suggested the idea to (All England Club chairman) Philip Brook and Serena, and fortunately they accepted. “I was very pleased because Serena is a great dancer. “I was thinking of more of a waltz – something more sophisticated. “But Serena wanted to move a bit more and we considered other options. So it was Night Fever. Night Fever came to life and you can imagine how that looked.”
