British tennis pro Anne Keothavong is marched off a London tram after unknowingly failing to pay for her journey.

British tennis player Anne Keothavong was forced off a London tram after a mistake with her Oyster card.

The 29-year-old has accused staff of treating her "like a criminal" after she was informed that she had not paid for her journey from Wimbledon station to her destination because she failed to tap the card on the platform.

Keothavong tweeted: "So, I've just been marched off the tram like a criminal coz I didn't realise I was meant to touch my Oyster card on the platform.

"I touched it to get into the station and then planned to do the same at my destination. Thought that was all u had to do?"

The British number three could have been dealt a fine but her explanation was enough to avoid any punishment.
