World No. 112 Kamilla Rakhimova is the latest Russian-born tennis player to officially change her nationality. The 24-year-old will now compete under the Uzbekistan flag at tournaments.
Her switch marks the third nationality change by a Russian player in 2025, continuing a broader trend that began after the start of the war in Ukraine. In March, Daria Kasatkina announced she would represent Australia, and just over a month ago Maria Timofeeva became the first player to transfer her allegiance to Uzbekistan.
