It was May 2024 when Camila Giorgi, an Italian tennis star announced her retirement from tennis. The news of her retirement shocked everyone as it all happened quickly. However, months after that, she appeared on camera for the first time to answer the questions. When asked about her private life, she revealed that she is now engaged to an American guy. But, did her boyfriend influence her retirement decision? Let’s find out.

In an exclusive interview with Verrissimo, Giorgi opened up about her retirement decision. However, she made it clear that her boyfriend had no part in her decision. “No, he was not the push. It was my decision that I wanted to make for a long time,” said Giorgi in the interview. Giorgi did not reveal the name of her boyfriend and chose to keep it a secret as well.

Giorgi is now retired from tennis and she does not want to make her comeback to the sport anymore. “When I finish I don’t go back. But I still like it, I love watching it. I even went to New York to see some matches. What do I hope for the future? I don’t know, for now I want to travel,” the 32-year-old said when asked about the possibilities of her comeback.

She might be married to an American now, but Giorgi represented the Italian flag and she suggested that Italy would always be her home. “I will always return to Italy, I am Italian. One day I will return to live here. I love Italy, it is the most beautiful country. I was born here and this is my home. Traveling to learn about other cultures but Italy comes first”.

Interestingly, soon after announcing her retirement from tennis, Camila Giorgi took a break from everything and didn’t make public appearances for a long time. Later reports suggested that she had run away from the country due to discrepancies in her tax records that emerged shortly after her loss in Miami. Not only was she under investigation, but her family was also subjected to questioning. Giori opened up about that as well.

Responding to the statements of her fleeing, she said,  “I didn’t run away.” Further in the interview, she talked about the speculations that were raised due to her tax evasions.

“That accusation is laughable, it’s shocking,” was Camila Girogi’s reaction after she was accused of stealing furniture along with her family members. While her family was dragged into the debate, she was quick to suggest that they were unaware of the whole drama. Giorgi believes that her lawyer caused her a lot of trouble. “Other people managed me, it was their job. My father did not manage the economic side, he is also a victim,” said the Italian.

She further suggested that when she left tennis, a new world opened up for her and everything changed completely. Summing up her whole situation, Giorgi said, “We did not flee Italy for tax evasion . I did not flee, I chose to go and live in Miami”. Giorgi revealed that before she retired from tennis, she was temporarily living in America with her family. But, after her retirement, she decided to move to America permanently.

After retiring from tennis, Camila Giorgi is living a good life in America with her family and boyfriend. Now that Giorgi has made it clear that her boyfriend did not influence her retirement decision and she herself decided to hang up her boots, what are your thoughts on her decision?
