Italian tennis star Giorgi retires

Italian tennis player Camila Giorgi, a four-time winner on the WTA circuit, has retired at the age of 32, Italy's tennis federation (FITP) has announced.

Giorgi most recently played in the second round at the Miami Open in March when she was swatted aside in straight sets by world number one Iga Swiatek.

She made no personal announcement of her retirement, the FITP releasing a short statement on Wednesday saying that Giorgi "has said goodbye to tennis".

Meanwhile the International Tennis Integrity Agency, the game's anti-corruption and doping watchdog, lists Giorgi as having retired on Tuesday.

Among Giorgi's four WTA tour wins was her Masters 1000 title at Montreal in 2021, while she peaked at 26 in the world rankings in October 2018.

Her best result in a Grand Slam tournament was a run to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon in 2018, while she reached the same stage at the Tokyo Olympics three years ago.

What is the goal here, to win matches? Goal used to be to win Slams or 1000s. Needs to retire.

So great to see Paolini who lost 62,61 in 69 minutes get paid the same as Zverev, who lost in 4 sets, total 4 hours and 19 minutes. Today's "equality" 🤣

"Visible to the media" but not to the TV viewers, they only show the hawkeye when it doesn't contradict the referee. With that said, anyone who saw the match knows that Carlos would have won anyway. Zverev played awesome but run out of gas while Carlos hade plenty in the tank.

Players have to sign contracts to play in the tournaments and most often those contain clauses regarding PR relations which preclude players making negative comments about the tournament, tournament officials and employees.
