21-year old Ajla Tomljanovic of Croatia is reportedly changing her citizenship and will now be playing for Australia in the upcoming US Open 2014.
Tomljanovic started the 2013 season ranked 495th in the world and now she’s broken into the world’s top 50. She garnered media attention after defeating Agnieszka Radwanska in the third round of the French Open back in May.
“Tomljanovic will play as an Australian at grand slam tournaments, effective immediately, and at Tour events once her citizenship is finalised. Tennis Australia welcomes Ajla to the Australian tennis family and wishes her well,” the Tennis Australia said in a statement.
