STOCKHOLM(AP) Swedish police say two tennis players are suspected of soliciting prostitutes before the Stockholm Open.
The two men were identified only as foreign citizens. Investigation leader Jonas Trolle told The Associated Press on Monday that they were detained as they entered a hotel in Stockholm early Sunday with their escorts. He said both players were set to compete in the tournament, which started Monday.
Organizers said in a brief statement that it would be inappropriate to comment because the investigation was ongoing.
Tournament spokesman Pelle Hjertquist told The Associated Press that the investigation wouldn't stop anyone from competing in the tournament, which has a 32-player singles draw and prize money of $600,000.
