A STREAKER interrupted play by doing a cartwheel on Centre Court at Wimbledon today during the quarter-final match between Russian beauties Maria Sharapova and Elena Dementieva.
The man, who appeared to be in his late twenties and was completely naked except for white trainers and black socks, came on to the court on Sharapova’s side and did a cartwheel.
Security staff came on to the court immediately and held out a large red blanket which he charged at before being wrapped up and ushered away, to great applause from the crowd.
Sharapova turned her back to the streaker during his performance while her opponent appeared to smile.
Play resumed after a matter of minutes with Sharapova one set ahead.

David Niven's fine comment comes to mind here.

Ah, whimsy at Wimbledon. There's always humor in a man displaying his shortcomings.

...Sharapova turned her back to the streaker during his performance while her opponent appeared to smile. ...I tried watching this match but Sharapova's grunting/screeching on each shot drives me nuts. I turned it off.

Given some of the tennis outfits, the players are half-dressed themselves (Venus Williams, for eaxmple).

Weird - how did this guy get by security? Assuming they have security, of course.

I thought only women had that much cellulite. And judging from the look on the women's faces in the audience - he's not much to write home about.
