Tennis fans were tickled by Jannik Sinner and Linda Noskova after their traditional Wimbledon dance at the Champions' Dinner, marking the end of Wimbledon. Sinner defended his title after seeing off Alexander Zverev in a four-set thriller.

    The French Open champion edged the opening set 6-7(7). The Italian ace, who was under immense pressure to make a deep run after his second-round exit at Roland Garros, staged a comeback in the second set and went on to deny the German player his first grass-court major title with a 6-7(7), 7-6(2), 6-3, 6-4 victory.

    Noskova won her first-ever Grand Slam title after beating her compatriot Karolina Muchova 6-2, 5-7, 6-3. Following their victories, the winners attended the Wimbledon Champions' Dinner, where they shared the ceremonial dance to Justin Timberlake's 'Can't Stop The Feeling!.
