Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova captivated the audience at the Wimbledon Champions' Ball as they shared the traditional dance amid the festivities. The duo dazzled in chic formalwear, celebrating their victories in style while shaking a leg to popstar Dua Lipa's hit song.

After an impressive run, which included wins over the likes of Danielle Collins, Jelena Ostapenko and Elena Rybakina, Krejcikova clinched her maiden Wimbledon title by claiming a hard-fought 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 victory against Jasmine Paolini in a blockbuster final.

Alcaraz, meanwhile, delivered a commanding performance against Novak Djokovic in a rematch of last year's final, beating the Serb 6-2, 6-2, 7-6(4) to secure his second consecutive title at the grasscourt Major and his fourth Grand Slam crown overall.

Following the Spaniard's triumph on Sunday, July 14, Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova graced the Wimbledon Champions' Ball to celebrate their wins. The World No. 3 cut a stylish figure in a classic black tuxedo, while Krejcikova stunned in an emerald green gown with an embellished top, rounding out her look with a sideswept hairdo.

During the festivities, the moment arrived for the men's and women's singles champions to share the traditional dance on the stage. Alcaraz had been apprehensive about dancing with Krejcikova, admitting that his skills on the dance floor "could be better."

However, the 21-year-old also emphasized that he would try his best, and he did not disappoint, adorably twirling the Czech around to the tune of Dua Lipa's hit song 'Dance the Night' from the 'Barbie' soundtrack.
