Italian tennis player Camila Giorgi, a three-time WTA champion, continues to capture attention both on and off the court. Known for her athletic skill and striking beauty, she often shares bold photos on Instagram, including a festive photoshoot where she posed in white lace lingerie to wish fans a Merry Christmas. Many believe she could easily succeed as a model alongside her sports career.
A Childhood in a Big Family
Born on December 30, 1991, in Macerata, Italy, Giorgi grew up in a large family of Argentinian immigrants. Her father, Sergio, a former soldier who fought in the Falklands War, and her mother, Claudia, worked hard to support their children after moving to Italy. Camila has two brothers, Leandro and Amadeus, and a sister, Antonela. Amadeus later became a professional footballer in Spain.
From Gymnastics to Tennis
Before tennis, Camila pursued artistic gymnastics with solid results. But everything changed when her brother Leandro introduced her to tennis at age five. Drawn to the sport, she left gymnastics behind. At first, her father doubted her dedication, but he soon recognized her passion and became her biggest supporter, attending practices and motivating her throughout her journey.
Early Career Breakthroughs
Between 2009 and 2012, Giorgi reached seven ITF finals, winning five. Her big breakthrough came in 2011 when she qualified for the main draw at Wimbledon. Although she lost in the first round to Tsvetana Pironkova, her performance left a lasting impression.
Career Highlights
Giorgi’s most notable years were between 2012 and 2016. She advanced to the Wimbledon quarterfinals after a six-match winning streak, where she fell to top seed Agnieszka Radwańska. She later reached multiple WTA finals, finally clinching her first title in 2015 at s-Hertogenbosch by defeating Belinda Bencic. She added two more titles to her résumé — in Linz (2018) and Montreal (2021).
Her Personal Life
In 2015, Giorgi was in a relationship with fellow tennis player Giacomo Mancini, who proposed to her the following year. However, the wedding never happened, and the couple split. Since then, she has remained single, with many fans speculating about her romantic life, especially given her frequent glamorous and daring Instagram posts. Today, she has more than half a million followers.
