Tarpischev said that Andreeva’s parents are being “processed” about changing citizenship
The head of the Russian Tennis Federation Shamil Tarpischev spoke about the possible change of citizenship of 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva. It is reported by TASS.
According to the functionary, this decision will be made by the parents of the athlete, who are under pressure. “Of course, they are processed there from morning to night – we, the federation, cannot do anything here. We are limited now. I can’t even go to Roland Garros, talk, ”said Tarpishchev.
Earlier, Tennis World USA reported that Andreeva allegedly wants to play under the French flag. The Russian tennis player lives and trains in France, at the academy in Cannes. The athlete’s agent Lev Kassil denied this information.
On July 10, Andreeva lost to American Madison Keys in the 1/8 final match of Wimbledon 2023. The meeting ended with a score of 6:3, 6:7 (4:7), 2:6 in favor of the US athlete.
