The Final 8 | Men's Singles | 2024 Wimbledon Championship

[bluespring864]

If anyone is in need of a silly tennis story, here's one for you:

You know the ceremonial Wimbledon Champions' dance which has become a thing again in recent years?

It's an old tradition but it had been pretty much forgotten about until a player thought to bring it back. They even got the approval of the chairman of the All England Club and of course then had to run this by the other player who won the Championship that year, who happened to be Serena Williams.

Now before you even ask who would be brave enough to ask Serena Williams to dance... yes of course it was Novak Djokovic.

They danced to 'Night Fever' by the Bee Gees because why the hell not.

But what Novak in his usual impulsiveness did not think about or perhaps did not care about was that this meant that he was settling every winner thereafter with this dance tradition again - which, since he did this in 2015, meant that, sure enough, in 2016 one Andy Murray immediately got asked about whether he would dance with the winner of the Women's Championship who happened to be, once again, Serena Williams.

Well, who would be brave enough to refuse to dance with Serena Williams? Yeah, you've guessed it.

A quote and a pic under the cut. Enjoy. And choose your fighter :D

2016:

"No. No, no," said Murray, in his dry, deadpan fashion, during one of the many media commitments that followed his [win]. "It can go into retirement again and the next winners can try again, but no dancing for me tonight. Unless I've had a few glasses of champagne - then it's possible."
