Awkward! The moment Wimbledon runner-up Federer blanked winner Djokovic as he walked past him in locker room corridor just minutes after losing final

• Federer bumped into Djokovic and wife Jelena after trophy ceremony
• But he did not speak to the couple and walked past with eyes averted
• Djokovic had just defeated Federer for the second year in a row
• Swiss star later insisted he was not 'crestfallen' and paid tribute to rival

 Roger Federer was quick to pay tribute to his rival Novak Djokovic after losing the Wimbledon final yesterday - but it soon became apparent he was more disgruntled than he'd let on.

The tournament runner-up completely blanked the champion and his wife when he walked past them in the dressing room hallway half an hour after the match ended, it has emerged.

Video footage shows how Federer failed to acknowledge Djokovic or his wife Jelena, who were embracing in the aftermath of the Serbian star's third Wimbledon victory.

Instead, the vanquished player simply strided past the couple, averting his eyes and not speaking to any of the bystanders who were crowding the narrow corridor.
