Novak Djokovic celebrates his Wimbledon win at Champions Dinner with his glam wife Jelena… after he promised to get her flowers for their eighth wedding anniversary
It was double the celebrations for Novak Djokovic on Sunday night as he headed to the Wimbledon Champions Dinner.

Novak had changed out of his tennis whites into a navy suit as he posed with Jelana, who accessorised her pink mini with a cream Chanel bag and heels.
Novak came from behind to beat tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios on Sunday.
Unseeded Australian Kyrgios veered from laser-focussed to horribly distracted, arguing at times with his box, the umpire and the crowd.

And BBC host Sue Barker couldn’t help reminding Novak that it was a special day for two reasons, explaining:
‘The dinner with Nick might have to wait as it’s your anniversary today. You will have other plans today.’
The star, who had just banked £2m thanks to his win, replied saying, ‘I am going to buy you flowers after this. You keep reminding me big things. I will be in big trouble if I forget.’
