Wimbledon stars swap tennis whites for fine evening wear at championship dinnner
Tennis royalty swapped their usual garb for something rather more refined on Sunday evening.
Tennis stars have graced London’s Guildhall in their evening finery to celebrate the 2017 Wimbledon championship dinner.
Men’s champion Roger Federer, who secured his record-breaking eighth Wimbledon trophy and 19th Grand Slam win, appeared alongside his wife, Mirka, to celebrate becoming the most successful player in the sport’s history.
But a spokeswoman for the All England Club said there was no dance floor at the venue, and that part of the evening was discontinued in the 1970s.
The 23-year-old Muguruza overcame Williams, who is 14 years her senior, after losing the final to her younger sister, Serena, in 2015.
“But I want to see if he’s that elegant also dancing.”
Their dominating performance came 10 years after Murray first won the title alongside Jelena Jankovic, and was watched by the Scot’s younger brother, Andy, who made a brief appearance at the All England Club after his defeat to Sam Querrey in the men’s singles competition on Wednesday.
