Don't know if you guys have heard this, but I found this article in the Herald Sun newspaper in Melbourne today.

Aussies rally to claim teen
August 10, 2006 12:00am

TALENTED Slovakian tennis teenager Jarmila Gajdosova is considering switching to Australia.

Rated one of the most promising young players in the world, Gajdosova is investigating taking out Australian citizenship.
Ranked 86th in the world, 19-year-old Gajdosova has claimed four singles titles on the International Tennis Federation circuit this season, while establishing herself as a grand slam fixture.

The Bratislava baseliner has forged strong links with Australia, notably through Sydney coach Simon Walsh, trainer Dave Bailey and sponsor Ron Kohn, of Topserve Tennis.

Beaten in the Australian Open junior semi-finals two years ago by Czech world No. 9 Nicole Vaidisova, Gajdosova reached the French Open second round in May.

Gajdosova thumped sixth seed and world No. 49 Anastasia Yakimova 6-2 6-3 in Stockholm overnight to underline her credentials.

Financially independent, Gajdosova has canvassed the possibility of switching allegiances with Australian players and officials.

But, unlike Jelena Dokic who received significant monetary backing from Tennis Australia before her transfer back to Serbia and Montenegro, Gajdosova is bankrolling her own career.

Walsh confirmed Gajdosova is not seeking assistance from Tennis Australia.

"Her interest in the idea of possible citizenship is based on her love for the Australian life," Walsh said.

"She has spent a lot of special times there in the past two years, including Christmas and her birthdays.

"(She) has a lot of close friends there and she feels very at home.

"She has always enjoyed her time there immensely and really her interest is based around looking at her life and future, importantly, after tennis one day.

"She is in a certain position where she is not looking for, or needs, any outside support connected to her tennis.

"Jarmila is 100 per cent financially self-sufficient and also has her own sponsors and support team and resources.

"She is already established in the top 100 at only 19 years of age and does not need any financial or other support -- meaning wildcards.

"Her interest in Australian citizenship has absolutely nothing to do with that.

"It's about her interest and love in Australia."

Gajdosova dominated the Australian leg of the ITF calendar this season, capturing singles crowns in Sydney, Gosford and Canberra.

The right-hander was based in Australia from November to April and registered her first win at grand slam level in Paris in May with victory over Stephanie Cohen-Aloro.

She also boasts wins this year over Wimbledon quarter-finalist Severine Bremond and Australian Sam Stosur.

TA director of player development Craig Tiley described Gajdosova as accomplished.

"She's got a lot of upside to her game, she's an exciting new talent," Tiley said.

"She's been pretty tied into the Australian environment for quite a while. If she's successful with her citizenship application, we would welcome her into the Australian tennis community."
Yes, I read it too today... I don't know (yet) if it's accurate or not.

It's not the first time, people are saying that. But the last time, Jarka said it was rumors only.
