Ajla Tomljanovic Reportedly Switching Nationalities to Australia http://0rz.tw/UH8eZ Ajla Tomljanovic, the Croatian No. 1, will reportedly be switching nationalities to Australia according to Linda Pearce of the Sydney Morning Herald. The 21-year-old Tomljanovic, who came to the United States at the age of 13 to further her tennis career, joined forces with Sam Stosur's former coach, David Taylor, in December. Her tennis skills were honed on the grounds of the Evert Academy in Boca Raton, Fla. Tomljanovic, who upset Agnieszka Radwanska en route to the second week of Roland Garros, will represent Australia at the US Open, according to the report . While she can compete under her new flag at Grand Slams, she would be unable to represent Australia at WTA tournaments until her application for citizenship is completed. "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,'' read a statement from Tennis Australia. Tomljanovic could conceivably become the Australian No. 3, behind 2011 US Open champion Stosur and Casey Dellacqua. She would not be the first to take advantage of Australian hospitality, as fellow WTA Tour players Jarmila Gajdosova, Arina and Anastasia Rodionova, and Jelena Dokic have all switched nationalities to Australia in recent years. -- 目前克羅埃西亞女單排名第一的Tomljanovic將轉籍至澳洲，克女將損失一名大將。 不過對於克國聯邦盃來說並無太大影響，Tomljanovic自從2011年後再也沒參加過聯邦盃 任何賽事，而18歲的Vekic和16歲的Konjuh(上上週在伊斯坦堡打進四強)近來的亮眼表現 也讓Tomljanovic的轉籍傷害降至最低，對於克國來說，全力培養這兩位新秀是接下來的 重點目標。 -- http://nicholasjcf.pixnet.net/blog --
