Anastasya Zaritskaya at international tournaments will no longer play under the flag of Ukraine.

Citizenship change in a situation Zaritskaya can be called a formality, as 19-year-old tennis player was born in Prague, then in a few years he returned to Ukraine, and at the age of nine moved again to the place of his birth.

“I like the blend of nationalities in my blood, but I’m quite a long time strived to obtain Czech citizenship and is pleased that finally managed to bring this idea to life”, – quotes the words Zaritskaya portal “Tenisovysvet.cz”.
