Tennis event cancelled after kidnappings in mexico

Ten players, all underage, and a coach were the victims of a "virtual" kidnapping, which is an extortion scheme that deceives the victims into paying a ransom to free a family member they believe is threatened with violence or death. Unlike traditional abductions, virtual kidnappers, some of whom are inside prisons, do not abduct anyone but instead attempt to accomplish their goal through deception. The Mexican Tennis Federation announced on Wednesday that it had canceled a junior tournament that was being held in the central state of Guanajuato.
