The Mexican Tennis Federation announced on Wednesday that it had cancelled a junior tournament that was been played in the central state of Guanajuato after 10 players, all underage, and a coach, were victims of a “virtual” kidnapping. Virtual kidnapping is an extortion scheme that tricks the victims into paying a ransom to free a family member whom they believe is threatened with violence or death. The J30 or Juniors 30 tournament, the lowest-ranked tournament under the International Tennis Federation’s umbrella, was being held in the city of Irapuato.
