“Please trust this Instagram for truthful information,” Camila Giorgi stated, along with the news of her retirement from tennis two months ago. However, unlike other athletes, the Italian player did not retire owing to her declining form or injuries. Many argued that it was a persistent tax accusations that acted as the reason. But she addressed those as “rumors,” hoping they would subside soon enough. Sadly, it hasn’t, and in the latest update on the issue, the former player has called out the constant flow of criticism owing to some alleged “fake news” on the matter.

Entire tennis community saw the former World No. 26 play against Iga Swiatek in the round of 64 match at the Miami Open. Giorgi lost to her in straight sets (6-1, 6-1). And within two months of that, the news of her retirement surprised all of us! An Italian newspaper, La Gazzetta dello Sport, alleged Giorgi fled Italy for the United States. The report claims Italian authorities wanted to question her over discrepancies in her tax filings. The investigation reportedly extended to members of her family, who accompanied her to the U.S.: her father Sergio, mother Claudio, and brothers Leandro and Amadeus.

Following days of speculation surrounding her retirement, 32-year-old tennis star finally confirmed the news in mid-May, albeit without explaining her decision. “Please trust this Instagram for truthful information,” Giorgi posted on her Instagram story. “I am happy to formally announce retirement from my tennis career…There have been many inaccurate rumors about my future plans, so I look forward to providing more information about exciting opportunities ahead…”

In a recent Q&A session on her IG account, Giorgi addressed the rumors circulating about her fleeing to Italy after announcing her retirement. “Unfortunately, the worthless journalist make Fake News, and to get a few more clicks on their page they would sell even their dignity. I have a lawyer following me, and if I had problems, I wouldn’t have returned to Italy 2 weeks ago, and I will be back soon. Thank you for your love,” she stated a while ago, replying to a fan’s question.

Although Giorgi hinted at her comeback, it will not be on the tennis courts. According to some reports, instead of tennis, she will be focusing on a new career path now!
