Italian tennis star Camila Giorgi, known as much for her athleticism as for her stunning modeling photos, has revealed that life on the professional circuit can be surprisingly lonely. The 32-year-old athlete, who represented Italy at the Tokyo Olympics and recently won the WTA Merida Open Akron, admitted in an interview with Tennis World USA that she doesn’t have any real friends in the sport.
When asked about her relationships within the tennis community, Giorgi—currently ranked world No. 46—explained, “I don’t have any real friends on the circuit. The atmosphere on the WTA Tour is great, but my true friends do something else.” Her honesty reflects a side of professional sports that’s often hidden behind the glamour and success.
Off the court, Giorgi continues to captivate fans with her strong online presence. Her Instagram is filled with elegant and daring fashion moments, often featuring lingerie and bikini shots that highlight her confident personality and athletic figure. Her social media following has grown rapidly, proving that she’s as much a style icon as she is a fierce competitor.
Despite her lack of close friendships in tennis, Giorgi says she values having friends outside the sport. “It helps me disconnect and focus on other parts of my life,” she said. That balance may contribute to her sharp mental edge on court. Her recent victory in Mexico marked her fourth WTA title and first since winning the Canadian Open in 2021. She also matched her best-ever Australian Open result earlier this year, reaching the third round before falling to Belinda Bencic.
Camila Giorgi’s story highlights the emotional challenges behind the competitive world of tennis—proving that even for the most glamorous athletes, success can sometimes come with solitude.
