LONDON — The streaker who interrupted Maria Sharapova during her quarter-final Wimbledon win over Elena Dementieva was a Dutchman acting on a dare, officials said.

Police have named the nude male intruder as Dutch disc jockey Sander Lantinga, 29, who was pulling off a stunt for a television program, British media reported.

The streaker, nude from the waist up while sitting just a few rows away form the court, jumped onto the grass in the second set, ripping open a pair velcro clasps on his pants.

He then managed to run around on the court and perform a handstand wearing only black socks and white training shoes before being escorted away by guards who wrapped him in a red blanket.

Wimbledon has made a major point of security at this edition, subjecting entering spectators to airport-style scans and searches.

Sharapova turned away during the brief incident while Dementieva gave a little chuckle as she watched in amusement.

Sharapova Streaker Just a Dutchman on a Dare --

Dutchman Sander Lantinga's buddy's dare: " I dare you to get out there with that minimal equipment of yours."

Sharapova in describing the interruption: "It was no long thing....."

Like Jerry Seinfeld says, "There's good naked. And there's bad naked."

I didn't think streakers streaked any more.
Nice to see these relatively harmless events still occur.

It's always just amazing to see what people do when "under the influence." Nothing really ever changes.

I'm surprised they let people be shirtless at Wimbledon.

The Daily Mail newspaper yesterday said they had measured Sharapova’s screams and that, during the quarter-final against Dementieva, they peaked at 102.7 decibels, the same as a pneumatic drill.

She must be related to my ex-girlfriend.

We need fewer pictures of Mr. Streaky and more pictures of hot young Russian women holding tennis rackets.

[beyond the sea]

Good point ..........

I guess this loon wasn't satisfied with that.

I remember one case where an 18 year old kid streaked a high school graduation and they charged him with indecency to children counts for the kids there.

Oh, NOOOOOO!

If I looked like that, I would definitely keep my clothes on.

[synbad600]

Maybe Windex should be offered at Wimbledon-to prevent streaking.

(old Steven Wright joke)
