Polina Kudermetova, currently ranked 104th in the world and sister of the well-known Veronika, has decided to renounce her Russian nationality in order to start representing Uzbekistan. More and more tennis players are making this move, which may have more logistical reasons than political values and ideas. Traveling the world with a Russian passport at this time is likely not easy in terms of obtaining visas. At 22 years old, Polina will aim to break into and establish herself in the top 100 while representing Uzbekistan.

🫣 Looks like the trend of Russian players switching nationalities is going strong.
