We've seen it with Elina Avanesyan, we've seen it with Daria Kasatkina, and we've seen it with a few others that I'll leave out. Russian players who, faced with the ongoing situation in their country, decide to start competing under a different flag. This is the case of Maria Timofeeva, currently ranked #146, although at 21 years old she already knows what it's like to break into the top 100 and even win a professional title. From now on, we will see her representing the flag of Uzbekistan as she announced on her social media. Free choice, nothing more to add.
