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.
