Fun Yao fact: she played no less than 28 Monastir tournaments last year, winning none of them. It must be nice for her to be somewhere else, even if she lost to a young upstart Brit!
Gigi said a few years ago she was looking to get French nationality as, with not having it, she didn't get any help from the French. If she's still going that route she must be close to getting it?
If she's living there full time and has been since 11 or 12 , as I believe she is, she's automatically entitled to french nationality at 18, no questions asked basically, just a rubber stamp
If she wants it before, it's more complicated and depends on patents too
