The Australian Open played stage for a streaker looking for his 14 seconds of fame… and an arrest.

While Serena and [Venus Williams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venus-williams-doll) played doubles against German tennis champ Martina Muller and Japan’s Ayumi Morita, a man ran onto the court to dance in front of the sisters wearing nothing from the waist down, interrupting the twins’ 6-3 win at the Australian Open.

Although security caught up with him on the other end, he certainly got his 14 seconds in the spotlight.
