An Australian tennis pro has been arrested over date rape allegations.

Paul Hanley, 30, who lives in Sutton, has been bailed by police after a woman in her 20s claimed he sexually assaulted her.

It is alleged that Melbourne-born Hanley invited the woman back to his home after they met at a bar near the All England Club in Wimbledon.

She later made a complaint to police.

A file has been sent to prosecutors, and Hanley has been bailed to report to police next month.

Hanley is a doubles specialist and reached the finals of the Wimbledon Championships in 2005.
