Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic played an incredible match in Sunday morning’s Wimbledon final, playing for five hours before Djokovic finally earned the victory in a historic tiebreak.
After Djokovic won the match, he pulled out a celebration that reminded many college football fans of former LSU and current Kansas coach Les Miles.
As you can see below, Djokovic bends down after the final point and eats a couple blades of the famed Wimbledon grass:

We can’t wait to see what the tennis version of Les Miles does next. Also, Miles will have to top Djokovic on the field this fall in Lawrence.
