I know, I know, I know.
Martina is now a US Citizen. But, when she won her first Wimbledon, she was Czech, right?

Yes, but she did not become a US citizen until 1981. I mean, you don't defect and become a citizen the next day, right? ;)

No, but they don't let you represent the country once you defect - particularly a Communist-bloc country.
