Kalinskaya’s brother: “I think Anya will not change her citizenship. She loves Russia and wants to live here after finishing her career.”
Paris NN footballer Nikolai Kalinsky, brother of Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya, believes that his sister will not change her sports citizenship.
Kalinskaya is 27 years old. She is ranked 33rd in the WTA rankings.
— When I saw that Anastasia Potapova decided to compete for Austria, I wanted to ask Anya what she would do if there was such an opportunity (to change citizenship). I haven’t had time to ask yet since we haven’t met. But I think that Anya will not change her citizenship. She loves Russia and wants to live here after finishing her career,” Sport24 quotes Kalinsky.
