Tennis super star Maria Sharapova who got an eyeful when a streaker did a cartwheel only yards away from her during her quarter final match with fellow Russian Elena Dementieva, said she didn’t really look at the man as she did not want to see all the details.

"I wasn’t scared. But I didn't really look at the guy — I didn’t want to see all the details,” she said.

Dutch DJ Sander Lantinga, who was wearing an outfit held together with Velcro, stripped down to just his trainers in seconds — before dashing over to Sharapova on the Centre Court.

Lantinga, 29, who works for MTV, did the stunt for the Dutch TV show Try Before You Die. Though police officials released him with a caution, mandarins at Wimbledon weren’t in the least happy.

“We will review our security,” The Sun quoted an official as saying.

Lantinga was eventually led away by officials, covered in a red flag.
