    Waaa, look at this cheap popularity search. You to be associated with this long distance relationship instead putting resources to train and promote your own stars

  • Bortey 2 years ago

    Ghanaians wouldn't even allow her to hold any political office in Ghana but are to see Ghanaians as MPs and Ministers in other countries

  • Gh man 2 years ago

    You are right! They once accused Rawlings of not being Ghanaian even though he was born a bred right here in Ghana. But they troop in droves across the Atlantic and elsewhere to serve in other countries Hmmmmmm

    She's had a fantastic year. Winning the Grand slam will be very great for her. Once Swiatek is out, she stands a better chance this time. She was in the final of the French open too

    Father is Italian and Mother is Polish, yet Ghanaweb wants to claim her as a Ghanaian? Suppose she was caught in Drug Trafficking would you ever claim her to be of Ghana descent?

  • COVI Huncho 2 years ago

    What has this has to do with Ghana?, nothing to be proud of she is Italiano not a Ghanese

  • Barima Ba 2 years ago

    Most likely, her grandfather on her mother’s side is a Ghanaian man. Also, highly probable from Ash Town, Kumasi. That’s very cool. It means she has a Ghanaian blood.

  • Achie 2 years ago

    Why do we always look out for people of Ghanaian heritage to claim ownership.
    The lady played well and deserved to be applauded. Can we stop this cheap claim by the writer and try and build our own tennis team for the future ...

  • T.G. 2 years ago

    Okay and so what? Does that make her any less Ghanaian? Or does it change the fact that she has Ghanaian blood inside of her? No it doesn't so again all you people need to shut up and just accept that she is what she is

  • OZYMANDIAS 2 years ago

    What makes her a Ghanaian then? She is Italian and represents Italy in every international tournament. Ghanaians should get a life.

  • Angel 2 years ago

    According to the rules, she technically qualifies to represent Ghana, if she chooses. So please stop this nonsense criticism in the comments to the contrary.
