Cam Newton may have made dabbing what it is in the sports world, but the dance move has made its way from the NFL to the NBA, and now, the tennis court.
Victoria Azarenka became the latest athlete to celebrate with a dab — a dance originated by rap group Migos where a person simply leans their head into their elbow — after defeating Alison Van Uytvanck in straight sets in the first round of the Australian Open on Tuesday.
Azarenka, ranked No. 14 in the world, will face Danka Kovinic in the second round.
