Camila Giorgi Takes on Unexpected New Role in Tennis After Retirement.
Former Italian tennis star Camila Giorgi has once again caught the public’s attention, unveiling a surprising new chapter in her life following her retirement from professional tennis in 2024. While many expected her to fully pivot into modeling after sharing lingerie photos online, Giorgi has instead reappeared in the tennis world—this time behind a microphone.
The 33-year-old played her final official match in March 2024, closing the curtain on a career that saw her rise as high as world No. 26 in the WTA rankings. After stepping away from competition, Giorgi relocated to the United States and briefly made headlines with her foray into modeling, fueling speculation that she had permanently left tennis behind.
However, Giorgi has since moved to Argentina, where she surprised fans by attending the ATP Buenos Aires tournament in a new capacity. Rather than competing on court, she worked as a reporter, conducting interviews with players such as Sebastián Báez and Guido Pella for the tournament’s official platforms.
Giorgi shared moments from her reporting debut on Instagram, showcasing her comfort and ease in front of the camera. While it remains unclear whether this was a one-off appearance or the start of a long-term media career, her natural communication skills suggest she could find success in this new role while staying connected to the sport she knows best.
Her move to Argentina comes after a turbulent period marked by legal and financial controversies, including allegations of tax irregularities and disputes with a former landlord in Italy. These issues reportedly influenced her earlier decision to leave Italy and spend time in the United States.
In an interview last October on Verissimo on Canale 5, Giorgi addressed rumors surrounding her disappearance from the public eye, explaining that her retirement became widely known only after it appeared on an anti-doping website. She also revealed that while she planned to settle in Miami, she frequently traveled back to Italy.
