LONDON (AP) After winning titles again on Wimbledon's grass, Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams showed they can cut a rug, too.

Reviving a bygone tradition, Djokovic and Williams busted a move at the Grand Slam tournament's annual champions' dinner, dancing together to ''Night Fever,'' the Bee Gees' disco hit from the 1977 movie ''Saturday Night Fever'' starring John Travolta.

At a news conference at the All England Club on Monday, a day after beating Roger Federer for a third Wimbledon title, Djokovic says it was his idea.

Says Djokovic: ''Serena is a great dancer.''

As for the song choice at Sunday night's dinner, Djokovic says he originally had in mind ''more of a waltz or something'' but Williams, who won her sixth Wimbledon title Saturday, ''wanted to move a little bit more.''
