Australian Open winners dance like absolute champions
Watch Next

Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Lucie Safarova just won their second Australian Open title, and they sure know how to celebrate it.

The women's doubles tandem beat Andrea Hlavackova and Peng Shuai in a tense match, and, after posing with the trophy, proceeded to bust out a coordinated, clearly pre-arranged dance number.

It's a good thing Mattek-Sands and Safarova won. Otherwise, they would have wasted precious tennis practice hours rehearsing a dance routine that would have never seen the light of day.

Thankfully, the world got to see their hard work, on and off the court.
