She became a UK citizen. You might acknowledge that she has Australian (and Hungarian) in her too but she's British. I appreciate it might be easier to accept if she had come to the UK before she was 10, and harder to accept if she had done it having already played for Australia in the Davis Cup for example. I.e. there's s Slovenian Brit who is far harder to accept, and not because he's nowhere near as good.

Regardless of that point, which UK women's place is she stealing? I realise it matters little for the nationality question but there really is a lack of depth in UK tennis talent.
