Alina Charaeva, a 24-year-old Russian tennis player, ranked 118th in the WTA rankings, has officially changed her sports citizenship and will represent Armenia on the international stage from now on.
The process was carried out as a result of long-term negotiations between the "Keron" Development Fund and the RA Tennis Federation. Forbes.ru writes about this.
Charaeva, a finalist of the 2020 Roland Garros junior tournament, will expand Armenia's representation in world women's tennis.
According to the media, a number of other famous Russian tennis players also changed their sports citizenship against the background of ITF restrictions starting from 2022.
