Italian tennis player Camila Giorgi quietly retired from professional tennis at the age of 32. No announcement on Instagram or in an interview! The news became public knowledge when a fan spotted “retired” next to her name on the ITIA website.
Currently ranked 116th, Giorgi played her last career match at the Miami Open in March, where she was defeated by top-ranked Iga Swiatek in the second round, with a score of 6-1 6-1. As of May 7, 2024, she has retired, as indicated by her name appearing on the Retired Players list of the International Tennis Integrity Agency website.
Giorgi won four WTA titles in her career, the biggest one being the 2021 National Bank Open in Montreal. Other three include Merida 2023, Linz 2018 and ‘s-Hertogenbosch 2015. Her best performance at a Grand Slam was a quarterfinal showing at Wimbledon 2018. Her highest singles ranking was No.26 achieved in October 2018.
Known for her aggressive play and powerful flat groundstrokes, Giorgi also made a mark as a fashion icon on the WTA Tour. Her beauty and distinctive tennis dresses captivated fans, blending a sexy and romantic style with lots of lace and neutral colors.
Her on-court attire reflected a feminine, romantic, and seductive aesthetic. Over the past decade, floral patterns, lace, elegant curves, textures, and accentuating details have been signature elements of the Italian’s style. She collaborated with the Florentine brand Giomila.
WOW…. THAT’S SHOCKING… I’m gonna miss her on the court. I’ve never been a fan of her tennis, but her… sassy attitude was special. And her clothes. Happy retirement then, Camila
