Giorgi went on to reach the fourth round of the 2012 Wimbledon Championships in just her second appearance at the tournament. After her successful run at the championships, she made her top-100 debut in the WTA rankings. The following year, she followed it up with a third-round run at the Wimbledon Championships, and made her second Grand Slam fourth round at the US Open. She reached her first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the 2018 Wimbledon Championships, six years after her Wimbledon breakout. Giorgi reached her first WTA final in 2014 at the Katowice Open, and then won her first title at the 2015 Topshelf Open. She reached her best singles ranking of world No. 26 in October 2018.

Giorgi is known for her aggressive style of game and her powerful flat groundstrokes, and is considered to be one of the hardest hitters of the ball on the tour. Her most notable professional wins have come at the 2013 US Open, 2014 BNP Paribas Open, and 2014 Aegon International, defeating former world No. 1 players Caroline Wozniacki, Maria Sharapova, and Victoria Azarenka, respectively.

Personal life

Giorgi was born in Macerata, Italy, to Sergion, an Argentinian of Italian descent, and an Italian mother. According to a number of newspaper reports, she is Jewish.[4][5][6][7] However, according to The Jerusalem Post, these reports have not been confirmed.[8] Giorgi considered emigrating to Israel in 2012, after her father opened negotiations with the Israel Tennis Association over the financial terms for her immigration.[9] Her mother, Claudia Gabriella Fullone, is a fashion designer who designs different dresses for every match.[10][11] Both moved to Italy from La Plata, Argentina.[10] Sergio Giorgi was drafted in Argentina in 1982, and fought in the Falklands War against the British; he now coaches Camila full-time.[12] As of September 2013, the Giorgi family was based in the Italian city of Pisa.[11]

Camila is one of four children. Her older brother Leandro is studying to be an actor, and younger brother Amadeus is a footballer, who currently plays for Serie D club A.C.D. Campodarsego.[11] She had a sister named Antonela who died in a car accident in Paris.[13]

Career

Junior career

Giorgi at the 2008 Italian Open

Following an initial interest in artistic gymnastics, Giorgi decided to devote herself to tennis after assisting in her brother's training, when she was five years old. She was subjected to hard training by her father, Sergio. Two years later, 1976 French Open champion Adriano Panatta said of her: "It's the first time I play a girl who plays like Andre Agassi."[11] In 2000, she was spotted by tennis coach Nick Bollettieri, who subsequently offered her seven months of training (previously offered only to Maria Sharapova).[11]

In November 2005, she reached the final of the Nike Junior Tour, but was defeated by Slovakia's Zuzana Luknarová. Giorgi reached the final at the Sey Development Cup in the Czech Republic, and the round of 16 at the Astrid Bowl in Belgium.

Giorgi started with $10k tournaments, and obtained her first significant results reaching two semifinals in Baku and Jakarta. At the end of the season, she took part in her first $25k tournament. She closed 2006 with ten wins and seven losses, and as the 944th in the WTA rankings.

She obtained her best results in 2007 in September at Limoges in France, reaching the quarterfinals in a $10k tournament; then in $25k tournaments that she played at the end of the season, in December, in Lagos, Nigeria, where she reached the quarterfinals.

Giorgi started 2008 playing several tournaments in France, where she lived with her family.

After some successes in tournaments in France, Giorgi won her first ITF tournament in August, in Katowice (25k), starting again from qualifying and defeating players such as Barbora Záhlavová-Strýcová (ranked No. 105) and, in the final, Ksenia Pervak (No. 135).

In the summer, she played several tournaments in America, where she went to live (in Miami, with her family), without remarkable results.

Playing style

Giorgi is a baseline player, who has a highly aggressive playing style. She likes to take the ball early on the rise, and possesses powerful, flat groundstrokes. Her strongest groundstroke is her two-handed backhand, with which she can hit winners from any position on the court. She hits the ball with relentless power, and is known to be one of the hardest hitters on the tour. She frequently utilizes aggressive serve-forehand combinations to finish points quickly.[78][79] Giorgi aims to generate extreme angles with both her forehand and backhand, to surprise baseline opponents and hit winners with ease. She is known for her tendency to aim for the lines, which means that she accumulates significant numbers of both winners and unforced errors in any match.[11][80][81] Unlike the rest of her game, her serve is known for its inconsistency: she has a tendency to take risks on her second serve, leading to a relatively high double fault count. She regularly hits deep returns, and takes the ball early while receiving, allowing her to hit a significant number of return winners.[79] In an article for LiveTennis.com, Nicholas Walz commented on Giorgi's game, saying, "Her play is often too erratic – she followed her result at the Indian Wells (defeating No. 4 seed, Maria Sharapova) by losing in the qualification round of the Miami (two weeks later) to Zarina Diyas."[82] Her preferred surfaces are fast hard and grass courts.[79][83]
