Can He Win it? Kubot Can-Can

Lukasz Kubot may not win the Wimbledon title but he has taken the top prize for the tournament's wackiest victory celebration by dancing the can-can.

The 31-year-old Pole, who faces compatriot Jerzy Janowicz in Wednesday's quarter-finals, performs his version of the high-kicking dance every time he wins a match.

"It's something that came up a couple of years ago. My team told me, my coaches, that every time I'm gonna play on the big courts, the big tournaments, big events, I should do the can-can after win," explained the world number 130.

"It's one of our exercise when we are practicing. The coaches like it when I put my legs very high. So it stays until now."

Janowicz and Kubot will meet in the first all-Polish quarter-final at a major when they face-off on Wednesday.
