Dan Evans, the British Davis Cup tennis player, will "co-operate fully" with a police investigation into a sexual assault.
It is understood arrangements are being made for Evans, 19, to be questioned by detectives in relation to an alleged attack in Bath, Somerset, in the early hours of 19 March.
Avon and Somerset police published a photo appeal, asking for three men to come forward, who they believed could assist with their investigation.
The appeal said a woman left a nightclub with a friend and they began talking to two men before one pushed her on to a discarded mattress and sexually assaulted her.
A spokeswoman for the Avon and Somerset force said the men in the photograph had been identified and "arrangements were being made" to speak to them.
She added that Avon and Somerset police had removed the appeal and photo from its website, as the men had now been identified.
A spokeswoman for the Lawn Tennis Association said today that Evans, who is ranked the third best tennis player in the UK behind Andy Murray and Alex Bogdanovic, will co-operate with the authorities.
She said: "This is a police matter, and we will co-operate fully with the authorities in their inquiries. It would therefore not be appropriate for us to comment further at this time."
Evans was beaten in the second round of a tournament in Bath during the week of 19 March by fellow Briton Josh Goodall.
