Wimbledon Men's and Women's singles champions Serbia's Novak Djokovic (R) and US Serena Williams dancing on stage at the Champions Dinner in central London.

Following their triumphs on Centre Court, they became the first pair to officially dance since Bjorn Borg and Chris Evert in 1976.

They broke out their moves to Night Fever by the Bee Gees.

'There was no practice, I suggested the idea to (All England Club chairman) Philip Brook and Serena, and fortunately they accepted,' Djokovic said.

'I was very pleased because Serena is a great dancer.'

Djokovic added: 'I was thinking of more of a waltz - something more sophisticated, something that blends into the environment and the beautiful hall we were in.

'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.'

Could they be contestants on "Strictly Come Dancing" or its American cousin "Dancing With The Stars" ? I wonder how well they would do?

Thoughts?

I think it's great they implemented that tradition again. Agree with Djokovic too, the Waltz or something of the like was what I had in mind.

Also, Agassi was very much looking forward to the dance with Graf the year he won Wimbledon. To his dismay, he was told that it was discontinued!

Ha! I remember - that was a cute story
