The fans closely viewed the massive performance of Iga Swiatek throughout the Miami Open. The World No.1 started her run for the title by defeating Camila Giorgi, ending her hopes in the very first match. While fans were quite disappointed to see the Italian lose this quickly, little did they know that her Miami presence would be marked as the last time she appeared on the court as a professional tennis player. Active tennis bigwigs recently started to circulate a post on social media.

According to the picture, Italy’s Camila Giorgi appears to be marked as retired on the International Tennis Integrity Agency(ITIA) website, with 7th May registered as her last day as a professional. While there was no word from the WTA star about signing out from her career, the silent farewell came out to be shocking for the fans.

The fact that Camilo Giorgi ended her professional tennis career in complete silence came out as a mystery for the fans. The tennis star didn’t commit any action that even aroused speculation about what was coming. Could this mean that she didn’t see this coming herself?

Just hours before the bigwigs spotted the updated status of her presence as a professional tennis player, Giorgi posted an update on Instagram. The mirror selfie seemed to be like just another story that she consistently posts to interact with her followers, as she flaunted herself in an adorable outfit.

While everything seemed to be normal with her actions, it could be true that she took the decision in a hurry, without even giving it multiple thoughts. As the tennis star hasn’t stepped forward to provide fans with a viable response, the mystery of her silent exit still remains to be investigated.
