Q: I read that you are perhaps going to Australia. There are even speculations that you are playing for Australia. Is that inaccurate?
A: I’ve never said that. Somebody misunderstood it or they changed the words a little bit. I did an interview during the Fed Cup during a rain delay with an Australian journalist, and the only thing she said was whether I would like to live in Australia. I said yes, when I stop playing tennis, because I love Australia, that’s all I said. Then I made a joke about the weather in Belgium. So I said I would like to live there but I never spoke about playing Fed Cup for Australia or changing my nationality. I’m proud to be Belgian.
:) I guess that says it all . . .
