She is Italy’s current No. 2 following Martina Trevisan. Giorgi made her Grand Slam main-draw debut at the 2011 Wimbledon Championships after winning her maiden ITF title in 2009. In only her second appearance at the Wimbledon Championships, Giorgi advanced to the fourth round. She debuted in the top-100 of the WTA rankings after a great run at the championships. The next year, she advanced to the third round of the Wimbledon Championships and reached the fourth round of her second Grand Slam, the US Open. Six years after her Wimbledon debut, she made her maiden Grand Slam quarterfinal in the 2018 Wimbledon Championships. Giorgi made her WTA Tour debut in 2014, reaching the final of the Katowice Open before winning her maiden title at the Rosmalen Open. She earned her first major championship at the 2021 National Bank Open in Montréal, defeating former world number one Karolina Plisková in the final.
Giorgi is a baseline player with a high level of aggression. She prefers to take the ball early on the rise and has strong, flat groundstrokes. Her two-handed backhand is her most powerful groundstroke, with which she can hit wins from any position on the court. She hits the ball with unwavering power and is regarded as one of the tour’s fiercest hitters. To end points fast, she typically uses powerful serve-forehand combinations. Camila Giorgi‘s goal is to create tremendous angles with her forehand and backhand in order to surprise baseline opponents and score winners with ease. She is recognized for her proclivity to aim for the lines, which results in a high percentage of both winners and unforced errors in any one match.
She defeated fifth seed Karolina Plisková in the third round for the second match this year, representing Italy at the Tokyo Olympics 2021. Elina Svitolina, the fourth seed and eventual bronze medalist, defeated her in the quarterfinals. She reached unseeded her first WTA 1000 and biggest final of her career at the Canada Masters in Montreal, having never before advanced past the fourth round at any tournament at this level. In the process, she defeated three top-25 players: No. 9 seed Elise Mertens in the first round, No. 7 seed Petra Kvitova in the round of 16, No. 15 seed Coco Gauff in the quarterfinals, and Jessica Pegula in the semifinals. She defeated world No. 6 Karolna Plková in the final to win her first WTA 1000 championship, the greatest victory of her career, and becoming Canada’s lowest-ranked champion since No. 80-ranked Serena Williams won the tournament in 2011. With this impressive run, she returned to the top 40 in the WTA singles rankings, climbing nearly 40 spots from 71 to world No. 33 on August 16, 2021.
Camila Giorgi has won numerous tournaments and debuted in the top-100 of the WTA rankings. At the end of 2022, her net worth is predicted to be around $2 million.
