Good news She's still showing as Aussie on the WTA site, but I assume it's the ITF who control questions of nationality in tennis so I always expected it to update there first.

She could actually be the GB no. 5 when the post-RG rankings come out, but I imagine Naomi will have something to say about that at Nottingham next week!

I'm amazed how little interest Phil's tweet (and my RT) of this news has caused among the GB journos on twitter so far - maybe everyone's too distracted by Muzz! LOL

Starting reading from the start of the thread, I was about to post "and not before time!" then got to steven's last post and realised my comment could apply to that as well.

Bit annoying that the BBC article on this makes it look like a sudden overnight nationality switch - probably not intentional, but oh so far from the truth!

Excellent news - I thought when it didn't happen as intended last year that it probably wasn't going to.

Personally I'm in two minds about this as I hope it doesn't do Robbo or Naomi out of any deals/WCs
