Polish Lukasz Kubot might not have won the Wimbledon title but he took the top prize for the wackiest victory celebration by dancing the can-can at SW19.

The 31-year-old, who lost to Jerzy Janowicz in the quarter-finals, performed his version of the high-kicking dance every time he won a game at the All England Club.

“It’s something that came up a couple of years ago. My team told me, my coaches, that every time I’m playing on the big courts, the big tournaments, big events, I should do the can-can after win,” he justified. “It’s one of our exercises when we are practising. The coaches like it when I put my legs very high. So it stays until now,” he added.
