Camila Giorgi retires from tennis without a word to pursue lingerie modeling career

The 32-year-old Italian pro — a four-time winner on the WTA Tour, who came up short to Serena Williams in the Wimbledon quarterfinals in 2018 — was listed on the International Tennis Integrity Agency’s (ITIA) retired players list on Tuesday.

That paperwork removed her from the list of players who get drug tested.

Her date of retirement read: May 7, 2024.

The WTA has been unable to reach Giorgi or her family, and was unaware of her retirement, according to Corriere della Sera, an Italian newspaper.
