I hope this line of questioning isn't intended to suggest that I'm something that I'm not?

Jo Konta was born in Australia and lived there until she was 14. She also previously represented Australia until she attained British citizenship. She holds an Australian passport (as well as a British passport (on residency grounds) and a Hungarian passport (on the basis of her parents' nationality).

Given the above, a tongue in cheek comment suggesting that she might not be happy about Australia doing badly in the cricket doesn't seem entirely unreasonable does it?
