thru is just an abbreviation, not a valid spelling

34. ELIGIBILITY OF PLAYERS
Any tennis player who is in good standing with his National Association in
accordance with Appendix D shall be qualified to represent that country if he:

(a) Is a national of that country, has a current valid passport of that country, has
lived in that country for 24 consecutive months at some time and has not
represented any other country during the period of 36 months immediately
preceding the event.
If a player is qualified under this sub section to represent more than one
country and the National Association of one of those countries wishes to
nominate him to represent it, that Association shall submit an application to
the ITF, with a copy to any other National Association concerned. Such
application must be received by the ITF at least six months prior to the event
for which the player wishes to be nominated.
The Davis Cup Committee will give a ruling having taken into account all

relevant matters.

(b) (i) A player who has represented, or has been eligible to represent a
country and such a country is divided into two or more countries, shall
immediately be eligible to represent any one of those countries.
(ii) A player who has represented, or has been eligible to represent a
country and such country is absorbed in whole or in part by another
country, shall immediately be eligible to represent such other country.
(c) A player shall be deemed to have represented a country if he shall have been
nominated, and shall have accepted, the nomination to play in the Olympic
Games Tennis Event or in any International Team Competition recognised by
the ITF and listed in Bye-Law 2.1(a).
(d) A National Association may appeal to the Board of Directors to nominate a
player who is not eligible under the above Rules and the Board of Directors
may agree the application if the full circumstances warrant an exception

being made. Such application must be received by the ITF at least six months prior to the event for which the player wishes to be nominated.
(e) The Davis Cup Committee has the right to ask a National Association to
produce evidence to show how a player is qualified to represent that country.
Note: A player who represented a country under the Rules in force in 1994 or
prior thereto, shall continue to be eligible to represent that country even if he is
no longer qualified to do so under the amended terms of this Regulation.

Really?

Why all the focus on spelling and grammar?

Who was so dense that they did not understand what Fedace was talking about?

Speak now or forever hold your peace!

Spelling and grammar queens on a message board -- completely useless!

He's reportedly a major putz! He hasn't gotten rid of that notorious Eastern European edginess that usually makes one come off as extremely endearing/cool (Safin, Tursonov) or an *****-wipe (Bogo..., Gulbis)

Not sure about Monica.

When Tommy Haas got his U.S. citizenship, some people said he'd play davis cup for U.S.A. Since then, i've never seen any flag beside his name except the German, but then he has double citizenship.

Does Bogomolov, Jr. have dual citizenship, too?

I know - it really sucks!

I was playing doubles last night. During a change over Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and I were talking; we are all convinced the USA would have been able to earn the Davis Cup with him on the squad.....

let him play where he can....

Haas DID play a couple of tournaments as USA, but then he went back to Germany.

Not sure if Bogie has dual citizenship as well, but by the rules, it does not matter about citizenship.

Mainad · 10-31-2011, 03:27 PM

Alex Bogomolov's background seems to be similar to Maria Sharapova's. Both were born in Russia, the children of tennis coaches and both emigrated to the USA with their parents when both were kids (Alex was 11 while Maria was only 7). Both grew up in the States and learned their tennis there. The only difference being that Maria has always remained a Russian citizen while Alex became a naturalised American.

If Alex can't play DC for the US, why can't he be allowed to try for his native country if they will have him!

i don't understand that. are you talking about something like the kazachstan situation? for instance golubev.

are the davis cup teams allowed to recruit players from any country they wish to?

I posted the rules regarding eligibility of players above.

10-31-2011, 03:40 PM

But, he was born in Russia, so I am assuming he is a national/citizen of Russia with a Russian Passport
