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.

Packing it in: Martina Navratilova is planning to quit while she’s ahead, and will end her Wimbledon career at this edition just three months before turning 50.

The granny of the grass, with 58 Grand Slam trophies in singles and doubles, is still involved in both women’s and mixed events.

“I just came here to win — win a title — and we’re still in both events,” she said. “I’m just concentrating on that. I didn’t come here for the strawberries and cream.”

Navratilova is planning to play through the US Open, picking her summer targets on the American hardcourt depending on her fitness.

She is also involved in promoting her own lifestyle and fitness book, “Shape Your Self,” as well as working with gay, animal and other causes close to her heart.

The veteran who has never been short of an opinion in and out of sport, left the door open for possible television commentary work and coaching. She is also keen to see women finally get equal prize money at Wimbledon.

“We should be making a lot more money at the Grand Slams. That’s the bottom line — we’re not in a profit sharing partnership at all with the Grand Slams.

“They’re raking it in (and) it’s the players that really supported the Grand Slams, made them big, talked them up,” Navratilova said.

|Carry on screaming, Maria|

Scream queen Maria Sharapova will carry on grunting if it helps her conquer Wimbledon again, the head of women’s tennis has said.

The Russian pin-up, the champion in 2004, came under fire for her high-decibel screaming in her 6-1, 6-4 quarter-final triumph over compatriot Elena Dementieva.

One newspaper here measured the noises she made on Centre Court, claiming they were the equal of a pneumatic drill.

“The players are aware of it and they say they can’t control it,” said Larry Scott, the chief executive of the WTA Tour, the governing body of the women’s game.

“They say it’s an athletic thing and it’s what they do to focus. They are concerned about winning matches and if it helps them pull out wins when the pressure is on, they are not going to turn it off.”

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.

The Russian’s previous best at the tournament had been 102.5 while, on Tuesday, she had started at a sedate 89.3. Other women players lag behind when it comes to on-court noise.

Serena Williams has peaked in the past at 88 decibels, sister Venus 85 and Lindsay Davenport 84.

The Daily Mail bemoaned the fact that Britain’s Tim Henman could only muster a paltry 61.6.

Dementieva, who has a frosty relationship with Sharapova, believes the umpire should intervene when the noise becomes unbearable.

“I think it’s a little bit too much, but that’s the way she’s played for a long time. I think the umpire should calm her down a little bit," she said.
