Maria Sharapova Nationality Question...?
I know she was born in Russia and moved to the USA when she was 7. So, does she claim Russia or America as her nationality when playing tennis?
Thanks, guys! I was just confused because during the 06 US Open, they ran a short segment featuring the US players. James Blake, Roddick, you get the idea. And during the segment they showed Maria. I knew she was Russian, so I was confused as to why they were showcasing her with the American players...

She is Russian and she will be a Russian until she changes
her mind. She holds the Russian passport and has been in
the Russia's team events and she plans to play with Russian
as her nationality.

She is Russian and represents Russia in international play. I think her mother is mostly living in Russia. There are a lot of young players training in countries not of their birth by the way.

Here's one of Maria's quotes "I definitely feel Russian inside, even when I'm in America I feel Russian."

She is Russian, has Russian citizenship, and represents Russia. She does not have U.S. citizenship and does not plan on becoming a U.S. citizen as far as I know.
