Federer, who won his eighth Wimbledon title earlier on Sunday, came along with with his wife Mirka.

Muguruza had clinched a maiden Wimbledon title on Saturday after beating veteran Venus Williams in the final.

Muguruza even teased Federer with an invitation to dance at the event.

"@rogerfederer are you ready to dance? #ChampionsDinner," she tweeted.

And the sport that Federer is, he replied instantly: "Bring it on, champ."

But incidentally, there is no dance at the party, with the tradition discontinued way back in the 1970s.
