Fetisov about Kasatkina receiving Australian citizenship: “This speaks about her upbringing. There is only one homeland”
Two-time Olympic champion in hockey, State Duma deputy Vyacheslav Fetisov told Match TV that he does not understand the decision of tennis player Daria Kasatkina to obtain Australian citizenship.
Kasatkina, who previously represented Russia, said on Saturday that she had received a certificate of Australian citizenship.
“I don’t see the point in talking about the Russian athlete, she made this decision, which means she will be better off there.” This may be a loss for our tennis, but it speaks volumes about her personal qualities and upbringing. There is only one homeland,” Fetisov told Match TV.
In March 2025, Kasatkina announced that she would represent Australia at the competition. At recent tournaments she competed under the Australian flag.
Kasatkina is 28 years old, a native of Togliatti, ranked 48th in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings, and has eight victories in WTA singles tournaments.
