Rebeka Masarova: SUI -> ESP

Why??

 

[spiceboy]

Why??

She used to play for Spain when she was young. She represented Spain internationally in team competions and played the Spanish National Championships too. In 2011 she was a semifinalist in the U12 Spanish National Championships the same year Alex de Miñaur lost in the semis in the boy's event. He now plays for Australia and reached Brisbane semis this week.

Wow, so Masarova and Teichmann are both Spanish-Swiss?

Masarova: Spanish mother, Slovak father, born in Switzerland
Teichmann: Spanish mother(?), Swiss father, born in Spain

Apparantly she switched a while ago, and she's not really noteworthy, but I noticed anyway that Michele Alexandra Zmau switched from Romania to Italy.

Zoziya Kardava - Russia -> Georgia.

No ranking yet, but she does have 6 ranking points from two tournaments so she should be joining the WTA ranks soon.

 

[vodnar]

Which players are Catalan / from Catalonia?

Perhaps Masarova, as she switched to ESP and her mother's Catalan.

For the list of players who were born in a country they never represented:

Mirjana Lucic (Croatia), born in Dortmund (Germany)

The Apisah sisters should be taken out of the list since they now represent PNG.

ATP, but Michael Mmoh is a pretty interesting case - he could legitimately represent Saudi Arabia (where he was born), Ireland (where his mother is from), Nigeria (where his father is from) and the USA (where he was raised and resides).

I guess Osaka is a similarly international case on the WTA, with one less country.

Tomljanovic now officially representing Australia on the WTA website

His father, Tony, played for the Nigerian Davis Cup team on many occasions and represented Nigeria at the Seoul Olympics winning a round. He also played at every GS at least once and also on the circuit for a few years and lost to Stefan Edberg, Paul Annacone amongst others.

Anastasia Detiuc:

-Moldova (until February 2018)
-Czech Republic (February 2018 - present)

[Sobachka]

Bombshell!!1 not :SNE: I feel so sorry for Moldova though... losing their best prospects one after the other

 

[gold fangs]

Poor Moldova. Every single one of their prospects defects. Every last one. Bucsa, Bolsova, Detiuc...

 

[Sonf@]

I don't know about Detiuc, but both Bucsa and Bolsova came to Spain when they were really young and were raised here

Perper seems to be getting good results as of late.

 

[Daebak.]

Detiuc has already played Fed Cup for Moldova, so this could come back to bite her in the future if she gets good enough to play olympics.

Csilla Fodor: Hungary --> Vietnam

No ranking, but this is quite an interesting switch :spit:
