Camila Giorgi has etired from tennis
The rumours have been swirling around former WTA Tour star Camila Giorgi since she walked away from tennis earlier this year, but now some of those myths have been dismissed.
The International Tennis Integrity Unit appeared to break the news of Giorgi’s exit from tennis when she was added to their list of retired players back in May.
That was followed by days of speculation over the reasons for her sudden decision to walk away from tennis.
Giorgi has yet to make any comment on reports circulating in Italy claiming she was forced to flee her home country, but she has now confirmed he has called time on her tennis career with these comments on Instagram.
“Please trust this Instagram for truthful information,” said Giorgi. “To my lovely fans, I am happy to formally announce my retirement from my tennis career. I am so grateful for your wonderful love and support for so many years.
“I cherish all the beautiful memories. There have been many inaccurate rumours about my future plans, so I look forward to providing more information about exciting opportunities ahead.
“It is a joy to share my life with you, and let’s continue this journey together. With much love, Camila.”
Little has been heard of Giorgi since that statement, but there have been wild rumours about legal proceedings against her in her native Italy.
