LONDON — Novak Djokovic won the match on Centre Court on Saturday, but it was his 7-year-old daughter who really wowed Wimbledon.

Tara Djokovic's victory dance brought a smile to dad's face. Everybody else's, too.

Djokovic had just clinched his 100th Wimbledon singles win and was asked during his on-court interview to shed light on the little dance he's been doing recently.

He said it's done to a song called ''Pump It Up."

''There's a song with my kids — look my daughter's doing it right now,'' a smiling Djokovic said as he looked into the crowd. ''You want to show it darling?''

The TV camera then panned to Tara, who then showed everyone how it's done: pump your fists down, then left, right and overhead.

The crowd roared.

''She's the master. It's a little tradition we have right now. Hopefully we can keep going so we can keep pumping more in Wimbledon.''
