The former world number one tennis player will be representing Russia in the competition. It is a great chance for her to bring laurels to the nation, where she was born. She is presently a resident of the US. But there are many people in the US who don't agree with the fact that she plays for Russia, while living in the US. Last year, she had said, "I just have always had the Russian feeling inside of me,” reported nydailynews.com.
The debate about the country is here to stay for the Russian girl. But it is very important that she focuses in one of her major ambitions this year, which includes the Olympic dream. For this, she has to be in full fitness, as the competition is only going to be tough for all the participants.

It would be one of the most prized possessions in her elusive cabinet of trophies, which includes her three Grand Slam titles too.
