They didn't make her a US citizen so she could play tennis for the national team. There is a big difference. dude martina navratilova moved to the US in 1975 and became a US citizen in 1981.

It was hilarious. The Qatari guy treated his opponent as if it was a 'local' fighting over a parking space down his local supermaket against some 'asian' expat labourer. Standing in his way blocking the ball, etc. It made me laugh... I don't know/care who won in the end.

These are poor countries and they (used to) take a lot of pride in their athletes. Some of these athletes still go back and train in the country of birth because of the advantages it offers. The players original countries should ban them from returning to their place of birth. It a very sad fact, especially for the countries from which these athletes are bought from.
