Streaker Interrupts Serena and Venus During Doubles Match (VIDEO)



Onlookers at the Australian Open in Melbourne were in shock after a streaker ran out in the middle of a doubles match involving sisters Serena and Venus Williams and their opponents Ayumi Morita and Martina Mueller.
Security officers were quick to capture the man and he was only on the court for a total of 14 seconds. Tennis Australia spoke about the situation and said:
“The focus of the on-court security team is always on player protection. They are instructed not to chase offenders as their focus at all times must remain on the players. The on-court actions of the security personnel reflected this focus on player protection.”

Why you watch Womens tennis!

Thankfully, the LONDON DAILY MAIL is keeping me abreast of the Australian Open and I'm happy to report that there is definitely something to report from Melbourne.
Austrian Tamira Paszek is the talk of the tournament so far, thanks to her near opening-round upset of 3rd Seed Jelena Jankovic, and “lunging around in a flimsy dress and straining sports bra that would have left many venerable members of the All-England Club choking on their strawberries.” I hadn’t noticed Paszek until the Brits brought it up. So I endeavored to find a few more photos of her - for confirmation’s sake only.
