Breaking: Novak Djokovic’s ‘Pump It Up’ Celebration at Wimbledon 2025 Sparks Political Debate
London, UK – July 6, 2025 – Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic has once again captured the world’s attention with his post-victory celebrations at Wimbledon 2025. This time, his choreography has sparked a political debate that extends beyond the tennis court.
Djokovic’s Unique Celebration Explained
After each of his three victories at Wimbledon 2025, Djokovic has been seen performing a unique “Pump It Up” dance, mimicking the action of pumping gas. This celebration has been interpreted by many as a political gesture, particularly in his home country of Serbia.
When questioned about the meaning behind his new celebration, Djokovic explained that it is a special moment of complicity between him and his children. “It’s something between me and my children. We have a song called ‘Pump It Up.’ It’s an old song. It’s a good rhythm. So, yes, we are pumping. We love it. We do it after each victory,” he said in a media interview.
A video of Djokovic’s daughter Tara mimicking the dance in the stands has warmed the hearts of fans worldwide, making the celebration even more endearing.
Political Implications of the Celebration
In Serbia, the action of “pumping” has become a symbol of the protest movement against President Aleksandar Vucic and his government, which has been accused of corruption. Thousands of people have been demonstrating every week since November 2024, using the “pumping” gesture to put pressure on politicians.
Despite denying any political intent behind his celebration, Djokovic has previously shown support for the protesting students by wearing a sweatshirt with the message “Students are champions” and dedicating victories to injured protesters during demonstrations.
Wimbledon 2025: Djokovic’s Path to History
With his latest victory, Djokovic has secured a place in the 8th finals against Australian Alex de Minaur (ATP 11). If he continues his winning streak, he could become the holder of the absolute record of Grand Slam titles, tying the eight crowns of Roger Federer at Church Road.
Each victory would give him another opportunity to perform his “Pump It Up” celebration, further fueling the debate and capturing the world’s attention.
Evergreen Context: Djokovic’s Career Innovations
Throughout his career, Djokovic has been known for his innovative post-victory celebrations. From miming a violinist to honor his daughter’s newfound love for the instrument, to his heartfelt gestures towards the audience, Djokovic’s celebrations have always been personal and meaningful.
His ability to connect with fans and his family through these moments has added a layer of depth to his already legendary career, making him not just a tennis champion, but a global icon.
