Anastasia Potapova staged a comeback from 3-6, 1-5 in the first round of the Australian Open against Suzan Lamens, and after such an achievement, she went on to explain the controversial post she made when announcing her change of nationality from Russian to Austrian. When she made it official in early December, the news itself was that her statement was the same as the one used by Daria Kasatkina when she announced her change of nationality from Russian to Australian. Potapova justified it this way: "I couldn't have said it better... so I didn't. Those were the perfect words. I loved it. My team and everyone loved it. So yes, we tried it. I don't think anything terrible happened. I think the media exaggerated it just because they didn't like that I did it. I mean, who cares about the posts, right?".
