Tennis: Alleged abuse on flight

Two Croatian men have been questioned by police after a heated in-flight exchange with Australian tennis player Jelena Dokic.

The men were on the same flight from Sydney as Serbian-born Dokic on Thursday when an altercation occurred.

When the plane landed in Melbourne, Australian Federal Police members were there to arrest the two men.

A 34-year-old and a 26-year-old, both from Croatia, were then questioned and released without charge, an AFP spokeswoman told AAP on Thursday.

It is alleged the two men had been acting in an offensive manner, she said.

Dokic is due to play in the Australian Open starting in Melbourne on Monday.
