I can't see the fuss in this.

As far as I know, which isn't much granted, it's not as if the Tennis Federation (or whoever) gave her incentives to change nationality. She's lived here most of her life, so why not? She'd be good enough to represent Australia or Humgary so it's not as if it's an easier passport to a team. Is there a problem with people changing nationality who aren't good at sport?

I see that Hungarian-Aussie girl who is based in Spain has done well in the tennis. (n/m) (Other Sports) - avenging canary, Jan 27, 05:39:22

        Has she been "trumpeted as a national treasure" (bit tabloid)? (Other Sports) - APB, Jan 27, 08:42:46
