Melbourne - Aussie-to-be Jarmila Gajdosova, born a Slovak, is running out of patience with the glacial pace of the Down Under bureaucracy.
The 21-year-old has been in the queue for citizenship in her intended tennis nation after moving to Melbourne to demonstrate her good faith.
"We've done everything we could, and it's (the government's) decision now. Tennis Australia is very confident the answer will be yes," she told local media. "I'd love to be playing as an Australian through the whole year."
