ROME – A day ago Camila Giorgi was a tennis player. On the WTA website he is still at number 166 in the world ranking. Todayis a “mystery”. She’s disappeared. He said goodbye to tennis, without really saying it. Without an official press release, an announcement on social media which he also frequents with a certain profit. First she didn’t register for the Rome Internationals and Roland Garros, then they found her name on the list of withdrawn athletes of Itia, the independent body for safeguarding the integrity of professional tennis.
He closes at 32 years old, with 4 titles won in his career (the most important being the 1000 in Montreal in 2021) and one last match in March, in Miami, defeated by world number 1 Iga Swiatek 6-1 6-1 . But this “disappearance” is a little mystery. Because Giorgi also removed herself from the anti-doping protocol. The WTA is looking for her, the newspapers are looking for her. But the phones are off the hook, his, that of his father-coach Sergio, those of his brothers Leandro and Amadeus. Corriere della Sera reports an indiscretion : Camila would have hastily moved abroad due to problems in Italy. The problems could concern the indictment by the Vicenza Prosecutor’s Office for the alleged false Covid certifications which also involved the singer Madame.
