'It Was Nice To Share...': Jannik Sinner Makes Fun Reveal About Wimbledon Ball Dance
Wimbledon 2025 champions Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek performed the winners' dance despite the late hour, with Swiatek insisting on the tradition.
Wimbledon 2025 champion Jannik Sinner has revealed that although the organisers of the ball had told him and Iga Swiatek that they did not need to perform the traditional dance since it was late, the latter insisted that they follow the custom as the duo ended up pulling off a few fun steps.
Wimbledon is one of the most prestigious competitions in the tennis world, and every year, the end of the tournament is marked by the customary winners' ball.
Customs at the ball dictate that the men's and women's singles winners pair up for a quick dance.
'Yes, I mean we were there, and in the beginning they told us that because it was quite late, so we didn't have to do it. And then Iga told me 'no, no, let's do it' and I was like 'okay'," Sinner said while speaking to BBC.
god bless you iga for convincing this goofball to dance🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/f5wTiWchx4 — livv🦊 (@livv_hq) July 14, 2025
'I mean, it's tradition, so it's good to make that happen. And yeah, it was nice to share that moment now with Iga, and it was a beautiful moment," Sinner said.
Meanwhile, Swiatek pleaded with the Polish media to 'leave me alone", saying that she knows what she is doing after crushing Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to win her first Wimbledon title on Saturday, July 12.
Swiatek was seeded eighth at the All England Club after a disappointing first half of the season, though she is fourth in the rankings after a run to the Bad Homburg final two weeks ago.
'For sure, the past months, how the media sometimes describe me and I've got to say, unfortunately, Polish media, how they treated me and my team, it wasn't really pleasant," Swiatek said.
'I hope they will just leave me alone and let me do my job because you can see that we know what we are doing and I have the best people around me," Swiatek added.
