In a world where athletes often script their farewells, Camila Giorgi leaves the tennis community puzzled. The Italian star, known for her ferocious groundstrokes and stylish presence, has not uttered the word 'retirement' publicly, yet finds herself on Italy's tennis federation list of retired players.
A Storied Career on Court
Giorgi's journey through the echelons of tennis was marked by her Wimbledon quarter-final run in 2018 and her peak WTA singles ranking of 26. Not to forget, her quarter-final appearance at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Her on-court persona was one of tenacity and flair, often reflecting her off-court passion for fashion and design.
The Unspoken Goodbye
The tennis world expected more from the 32-year-old after her battle against world No1 Iga Swiatek at the Miami Open. Yet, Giorgi's social media tells a different story, one filled with glamour shots and fashion endorsements. It seems the racquet may have been swapped for the runway, a transition her brother Amadeus, a former footballer turned fashion designer, made seamlessly.
From Baselines to Designs
Giorgi's Instagram, with over 724,000 followers, showcases her modeling ventures and partnerships with fashion brands. Could this be the next chapter for the athlete who once expressed a desire to pursue a career in design? With tennis behind her, Giorgi's new game might just be in the high stakes world of fashion, where she's already making a statement.
