Russian Mikhail Youzhny’s big fourth-round upset of No. 2 seed Rafael Nadal yesterday resulted in the arrest of a 22-year-old Russian reveler swept up by the moment.

Moments after Youzhny’s victory, Alex Azrilevich, 22, ran onto the court while Nadal was giving his post-match interview and started celebrating.

The Holland, Pa., resident of Russian descent was arrested by Queens police and charged with “interference of a professional sports event and criminal trespassing,” according to Queens police. There were no injuries.
