Camila Giorgi’s sudden retirement shocked the tennis world, as it was quietly revealed through her name appearing on the ITIA’s ‘retired players’ list. With no formal announcement or explanation, concerns about her well-being have grown swiftly.
Italian Billie Jean King Cup captain Tathiana Garbin expressed worry, stating she last spoke to Giorgi before the Cup, when the player cited a foot issue. Garbin hopes Giorgi is safe, peaceful, and left the sport on her own terms.
Giorgi’s final appearance was at the 2024 Miami Open, where she lost to Iga Swiatek. Having turned pro in 2006, her biggest career highlight remains her 2021 Canadian Open title.
Garbin reflected that it’s tough for former top players to rebuild after rankings drop. Giorgi, once ranked in the Top 30, last held the 116th spot. Garbin believes retirement may have been necessary at this stage.
