The WTA still list Groth as SVK and Rodionova as RUS, yet Shvedova and Karatantcheva are lised as KAZ even though their citizenship change was more recent :lol: So all very confusing.
Where is Johanna these days anyway? Not heard much from her since her win in Canada a few months ago.
I believe she has to wait for some reason, I cant remember exactly but I read something like she needs to have lived here for longer than she has. Not sure, but she trains in the UK and I believe becoming British is still her plan. I havent read any evidence to suggest otherwise, I guess we should just wait and see
